A propeller-shaped structure created by an unseen moon appears dark in this image obtained by NASA Cassini spacecraft of the unilluminated side of Saturn rings. The propeller is marked with a red arrow in the top left.
Ver en NASA ↗NASA Cassini spacecraft obtained this view of the south polar area of Saturn moon Enceladus in visible and near-visible ultraviolet and infrared light and synthetic-aperture radar SAR.
Ver en NASA ↗The famed wispy terrain on Saturn moon Dione is front and center in this recent image captured by NASA Cassini spacecraft. The wisps are fresh fractures on the trailing hemisphere of the moon icy surface.
Ver en NASA ↗NASA Cassini imaging scientists processed this view of Saturn moon Dione, taken during a close flyby on June 16, 2015. This was Cassini fourth targeted flyby of Dione.
Ver en NASA ↗After nearly three years at Saturn, the Cassini spacecraft continues to observe the planet retinue of icy moons. Rhea cratered face attests to its great age, while its bright wisps hint at tectonic activity in the past
Ver en NASA ↗NASA Cassini spacecraft looks between Saturn A and B rings to spy structure in the Cassini Division. The Cassini Division, occupying the middle and left of the image, contains five dim bands of ring material, but not all of the division is shown here.
Ver en NASA ↗Saturn moon Enceladus reflects sunlight brightly while the planet and its rings fill the background in this view from NASA Cassini spacecraft. Enceladus is one of the most reflective bodies in the solar system.
Ver en NASA ↗This map of Saturn moon Titan identifies the locations of mountains named by the International Astronomical Union. By convention, mountains on Titan are named for mountains from Middle-earth, the fictional setting in fantasy novels by J.R.R. Tolkien.
Ver en NASA ↗This global digital map of Saturn moon Iapetus was created using data taken during Cassini and Voyager spacecraft flybys. The map is an equidistant projection and has a scale of 641 meters 2,103 feet per pixel
Ver en NASA ↗NASA Cassini spacecraft captures a view of the southern latitudes of Saturn tumbling moon Hyperion. Lit terrain seen here is mostly in the southern hemisphere of Hyperion. The south pole of the moon is near the bottom of the illuminated terrain.
Ver en NASA ↗This frame from an animated sequence of NASA Cassini images shows methane clouds moving above the large methane sea on Saturn moon Titan known as Ligeia Mare.
Ver en NASA ↗This map of Saturn moon Titan by the Cassini radar mapper using its synthetic aperture radar imaging mode. Shown are a variety of geologic features, including impact craters, wind-blown deposits, channels and cryovolcanic features
Ver en NASA ↗Saturn rings obscure part of Titan colorful visage in this image from NASA Cassini spacecraft. The south polar vortex that first appeared in Titan atmosphere in 2012 is visible at the bottom of this view.
Ver en NASA ↗Saturn moon Pan, orbiting in the Encke Gap near the top of the image, casts a short shadow on the A ring in this image taken by NASA Cassini spacecraft about six months after the planet August 2009 equinox.
Ver en NASA ↗A seven-year journey to the ringed planet Saturn began on Oct. 15, 1997 with the liftoff of a Titan IVB/Centaur carrying NASA Cassini orbiter and its attached Huygens probe.
Ver en NASA ↗This artist concept illustrates the two Saturn-sized planets discovered by NASA Kepler mission. The star system is oriented edge-on, as seen by Kepler, such that both planets cross in front, or transit, their star, named Kepler-9.
Ver en NASA ↗An enigmatic large basin appears in the south polar region of Saturn moon Titan at the center of this Titan Radar Mapper image from NASA Cassini spacecraft acquired on June 22, 2009.
Ver en NASA ↗Saturn moon Enceladus brightly reflects sunlight before a backdrop of the planet rings and the rings shadows cast onto the planet. NASA Cassini spacecraft captured this snapshot during its flyby of the moon on Nov. 30, 2010.
Ver en NASA ↗NASA Cassini spacecraft looks past the cratered south polar area of Saturn moon Rhea to spy the moon Dione and the planet rings in the distance. Dione wispy terrain can be seen on the trailing hemisphere of that moon.
Ver en NASA ↗Saturn small moon Daphnis is caught in the act of raising waves on the edges of the Keeler gap, which is the thin dark band in the left half of the image. Waves like these allow scientists to locate small moons in gaps and measure their masses.
Ver en NASA ↗s our robotic emissary to Saturn, the Cassini spacecraft is privileged to behold such fantastic sights as this pairing of two moons beyond the rings. The bright, narrow F ring is the outermost ring structure seen here
Ver en NASA ↗Ligeia Mare, shown here in a false color image from NASA Cassini mission, is the second largest known body of liquid on Saturn moon Titan. It is filled with liquid hydrocarbons, such as ethane and methane.
Ver en NASA ↗Saturn moon Dione, in the foreground of this image from NASA Cassini spacecraft, appears darker than the moon Tethys. Tethys appears brighter because it has a higher albedo than Dione, meaning Tethys reflects more sunlight.
