This image from the Radar instrument aboard NASA Cassini spacecraft show the evolution of a transient feature in the large hydrocarbon sea named Ligeia Mare on Saturn moon Titan.
Ver en NASA ↗Appearing like the swirls of marble, the wispy terrain of Saturn moon Dione is captured by NASA Cassini spacecraft in a dramatic display of light and dark. These wispy features are a system of braided canyons with bright walls.
Ver en NASA ↗The image on the left shows Cassini view on approach to Phoebe, while the right shows the spacecraft departing perspective. As it entered the Saturn system, NASA Cassini spacecraft performed its first targeted flyby of one of the planet moons.
Ver en NASA ↗A huge arrow-shaped storm blows across the equatorial region of Titan in this image from NASA Cassini spacecraft, chronicling the seasonal weather changes on Saturn largest moon.
Ver en NASA ↗Saturn moon Tethys appears to float between two sets of rings in this view from NASA Cassini spacecraft, but it just a trick of geometry. The rings, which are seen nearly edge-on, are the dark bands above Tethys.
Ver en NASA ↗These three enhanced-color views of an equatorial region on Saturn moon Rhea were made from data obtained by NASA Cassini spacecraft. The colors have been enhanced to show colorful splotches and bands on the icy moon surface.
Ver en NASA ↗Saturn casts a wide shadow across its rings in view from NASA Cassini spacecraft which looks toward the darkened southern hemisphere of the night side of the planet.
Ver en NASA ↗NASA Cassini spacecraft looks toward the dark side of Saturn largest moon and captures the halo-like ring produced by sunlight scattering through the periphery of Titan atmosphere.
Ver en NASA ↗A group of bright spokes tightly cluster together in Saturn B ring. The spokes seen here generally all exhibit the same degree of shearing, or tilting, but some deviations are apparent
Ver en NASA ↗NASA Cassini spacecraft surveys the surface of Saturn moon Enceladus in this image, which shows newly created terrain in the upper right meeting older, cratered terrain in the lower left.
Ver en NASA ↗This visual and infrared mapping spectrometer image captured by NASA Cassini spacecraft of Saturn moon Enceladus, shows the dark cracks at the south pole dubbed tiger stripes for their distinct stripe-like appearance.
Ver en NASA ↗Janus and Epimetheus continue to separate, following their orbital swap in January 2006. Until 2010, Janus will remain the innermost of the pair, whose orbits around Saturn are separated by only about 50 kilometers 31 miles on average
Ver en NASA ↗In their orbital ballet, Janus and Epimetheus swap positions every four years -- one moon moving closer to Saturn, the other moving farther away. The two recently changed positions
Ver en NASA ↗Small water ice particles fly from fissures in the south polar region of Saturn moon Enceladus in this image taken during the Aug. 13, 2010, flyby of the moon by NASA Cassini spacecraft.
Ver en NASA ↗NASA Cassini spacecraft observes three of Saturn moons set against the darkened night side of the planet. Seen here are Rhea, closest to Cassini, Enceladus to right of Rhea, and Dione, left of Rhea.
Ver en NASA ↗Saturn moon Dione coasts along in its orbit appearing in front of its parent planet in this view from NASA Cassini spacecraft. The wispy terrain on the trailing hemisphere of Dione can be seen on the left of the moon here.
Ver en NASA ↗NASA Cassini spacecraft stared toward Saturn two-toned moon Iapetus for about a week in early 2015, in a campaign motivated in part to investigate subtle color differences within the moon bright terrain.
Ver en NASA ↗Bright spokes grace the B ring in this image which also includes the shadow of the moon Mimas and was taken by NASA Cassini spacecraft about a month after Saturn August 2009 equinox.
Ver en NASA ↗NASA Cassini spacecraft captured Enceladus above the rings and Rhea below. The comparatively tiny speck of Atlas can also be seen just above and to the left of Rhea, and just above the thin line of Saturn F ring.
Ver en NASA ↗This global digital map of Saturn moon Enceladus was created using data taken during Cassini and Voyager spacecraft flybys. The map is an equidistant projection and has a scale of 110 meters 361 feet per pixel
Ver en NASA ↗This high-resolution stereo anaglyph captured by NASA Cassini spacecraft of Saturn moon Enceladus shows a region of craters softened by time and torn apart by tectonic stresses. 3D glasses are necessary to view this image.
Ver en NASA ↗This series of false-color images obtained by NASA Cassini spacecraft shows the dissolving cloud cover over the north pole of Saturn moon Titan, allowing scientists to see the underlying northern lakes and seas, including Kraken Mare.
Ver en NASA ↗Epimetheus, seen here by NASA Cassini spacecraft, with Saturn in the background, is lumpy and misshapen, thanks in part to its size and formation process. Bombardment over the eons has left this tiny moon surface heavily pitted.
