Pan is seen in this color view as it sweeps through the Encke Gap with its attendant ringlets. As the lemon-shaped little moon orbits Saturn, it always keeps its long axis pointed along a line toward the planet
Ver en NASA ↗Bright sunlight on Rhea shows off the cratered surface of Saturn second largest moon in this image captured by NASA Cassini Orbiter. The image was taken in visible light with the Cassini spacecraft narrow-angle camera on Sept. 21, 2009.
Ver en NASA ↗Two of Saturn icy moons pass each other in a mutual event recorded by NASA Cassini spacecraft. The smaller moon Enceladus passes in front of the larger moon Rhea.
Ver en NASA ↗This graphic illustrates the interior of Saturn moon Enceladus. It shows warm, low-density material rising to the surface from within, in its icy shell yellow and/or its rocky core red
Ver en NASA ↗Cassini came close to Saturn small moon Helene on Feb. 25, 2006, acquiring this high-resolution view. This object seems to be buried in its own crater debris, like another Saturnian moon, Telesto
Ver en NASA ↗NASA Cassini spacecraft snapped this image during the spacecraft closest flyby of Saturn moon Helene, on March 3, 2010. Helene is a Trojan moon of Dione, named for the Trojan asteroids that orbit ahead of and behind Jupiter.
Ver en NASA ↗These polar maps show the first global, topographic mapping of Saturn moon Titan, using data from NASA Cassini mission. To create these maps, scientists employed a mathematical process called splining.
Ver en NASA ↗This mosaic, made from radar images obtained by NASA Cassini spacecraft, shows parallel mountain chains on Saturn moon Titan. The mountains appear along the northwest border of a region known as Xanadu.
Ver en NASA ↗Capturing the interplay between light and shadow, NASA Cassini spacecraft looks toward the night side of Saturn where sunlight reflected off the rings has dimly illuminated what would otherwise be the dark side of the planet.
Ver en NASA ↗Ring material, pulled to spectacular heights above the ring plane by the gravity of the moon Daphnis, casts long shadows on Saturn’s A ring in this Cassini image taken about a month before the planet’s August 2009 equinox.
Ver en NASA ↗NASA Cassini spacecraft looks toward the dark side of Titan as a circle of light is produced by sunlight scattering through the periphery of the atmosphere of Saturn largest moon. A detached, high-altitude global haze layer encircles the moon.
Ver en NASA ↗This frame from a movie is based on data from NASA Cassini spacecraft and shows a flyover of an area of Saturn moon Titan known as Sotra Facula. Scientists believe Sotra is the best case for an ice volcano, or cryovolcano, region on Titan.
Ver en NASA ↗On April 14th 1970, the Apollo 13 Saturn IVB upper stage impacted the Moon North of Mare Cognitum, at -2.55° latitude, -27.88° East longitude. This image was taken by NASA Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter.
Ver en NASA ↗At top of this image, Saturn moon Dione may appear closer to the spacecraft because it is larger than the moon Enceladus in the lower left. However, Enceladus was actually closer to the spacecraft in this image captured by NASA Cassini spacecraft.
Ver en NASA ↗Orbiting in the Encke Gap of Saturn A ring, the moon Pan casts a shadow on the ring in this image taken about six months after the planet August 2009 equinox by NASA Cassini spacecraft.
Ver en NASA ↗The two-toned surface of Saturn moon Iapetus is demonstrated in the dark region of the moon visible on the top left and the bright crater in the lower right of this portrait captured by NASA Cassini spacecraft.
Ver en NASA ↗Saturn is overexposed in this image taken by NASA Cassini spacecraft in order to show the dim rings. Pandora below rings to the left has been brightened by a factor of 1.3 relative to the planet and the rings to enhance its visibility.
Ver en NASA ↗Inspired by data from NASA Cassini mission, this artist impression of Saturn moon Titan shows the change in observed atmospheric effects before, during and after equinox in 2009.
Ver en NASA ↗The moon Tethys stands out as a tiny crescent of light in front of the dark of Saturn night side. Tethys can be seen above the ringplane on the far right of this NASA Cassini spacecraft image.
Ver en NASA ↗The Cassini spacecraft spies multiple spokes in Saturn outer B ring. The precise origin and evolution of these transient features continue to provide ring scientists with intriguing puzzles to solve
Ver en NASA ↗This image shows rough ice in the southern part of Saturn moon Enceladus. It was created using synthetic-aperture radar SAR data acquired by NASA Cassini spacecraft on Nov. 6, 2011.
Ver en NASA ↗The clumpy disturbed appearance of the brilliant F ring constantly changes. The irregular structure of the ring is due, in large part, to the gravitational perturbations on the ring material by one of Saturn moons, Prometheus
Ver en NASA ↗NASA Cassini spacecraft chronicles the change of seasons as it captures clouds concentrated near the equator of Saturn largest moon, Titan. Methane clouds in the troposphere, the lowest part of the atmosphere, appear white here.
