Frozen in Time

NASA Cassini spacecraft captures a still and partially sunlit Enceladus. The Saturnian moon is covered in ice that reflects sunlight similar to freshly fallen snow, making Enceladus one of the most [...]

We’ve been naval-gazing long enough. It’s time to look to the stars. “A natural-color image of Saturn .. taken from the Cassini spacecraft on July 19, 2013.” #saturn #backlit #space #cassini #jpl #nasa Credit: theatlantic.com

Stretched Shadow

The shadow of Saturn moon Dione, cast onto the planet, is elongated in dramatic fashion in this image captured by NASA Cassini spacecraft. The moon itself does not appear here, but the shadow can be [...]

Looking Down on Lakes

NASA Cassini spacecraft peers down though layers of haze to glimpse the lakes of Titan northern regions. Titan has a hydrological cycle similar to Earth, but instead of water, Titan lakes and seas [...]

Dark and Light Titan

NASA Cassini spacecraft examines Titan dark and light seasonal hemispheric dichotomy as it images the moon with a filter sensitive to near-infrared light. This image also shows Titan north polar hood.

Dione Distorted Shadow

Dione shadow is elongated as it is cast onto the round shape of Saturn in this image taken by NASA Cassini spacecraft. The moon is not visible here. This view looks toward the northern, sunlit [...]

Only 350 Titan images reached Earth when Huygens was built to send 700. A missed command meant Cassini never listened to channel A. Half the planned photos lost, even as Huygens made the farthest landing from Earth ever. Landed on Titan 14 January 2005. #Spaceflightpedia #Huygens #Titan #Cassini

Cassini’s infrared sensors pierced Saturn’s thick haze to reveal deep cloud structures and thermal activity invisible to the eye. This data is vital for understanding weather systems in the outer solar system. #Astronomy #Saturn #Cassini #SpaceExploration #Infrared Photography

In, Around, Beyond Rings

A quartet of Saturn moons, from tiny to huge, surround and are embedded within the planet rings in this Cassini composition. Saturn largest moon, Titan, in the background, and the moon north [...]

Tethys in Sunlight

Seen by NASA Cassini spacecraft, Tethys, like many moons in the solar system, keeps one face pointed towards the planet around which it orbits. Tethys anti-Saturn face is seen here, fully illuminated, [...]

On this day in 2017, I shed a tear for brave little #Cassini, who "plunged into the planet's atmosphere, sending science data for as long as its small thrusters could keep the spacecraft's antenna pointed at Earth. Soon after, Cassini burned up and disintegrated like a meteor..." 😭

I can't believe it's been 9 years. #Cassini
