Past Night

Saturn moon Mimas peeks out from behind the night side of the larger moon Dione in this image captured by NASA Cassini spacecraft during the Dione flyby of Dec. 12, 2011.

There are thousands of #Cassini photos worth marvelling at, but this is my favorite: Cassini's Pale Blue Dot. Yes, that's Earth glowing under Saturn's rings.

Like the famous Voyager photo, it's not just a reminder of who we are - but what we are capable of.

Happy anniversary, Cassini!

The #CassiniHuygens space probe to the #Saturn system, a joint project of #NASA, #ESA, & #ASI, launched from #CapeCanaveral, Florida, on #ThisDayInHistory in 1997. The #Huygens lander touched down on #Titan in 2005, and the highly successful #Cassini mission itself ended in 2017.

A Brighter Moon

Although Dione (near) and Enceladus (far) are composed of nearly the same materials, Enceladus has a considerably higher reflectivity than Dione. As a result, it appears brighter against the dark night [...]

Tethys in the Fore

A pair of small moons join Saturn second largest moon in this NASA Cassini spacecraft image spotlighting Rhea in front of the rings. Janus is seen beyond the rings on the right and Prometheus is [...]

For more than an hour, NASA was listening to a spacecraft that was no longer there. Cassini's last signal took 83 minutes to cross from Saturn, so Earth heard it enter the atmosphere after it was gone.

Daphnis in the Keeler gap, seen by NASA’s #Cassini. Its gravity raises waves in the edges of the 42-km-wide gap it orbits in. A faint tendril of ring material trails behind it.

Coy Rhea

The rings cannot hide the ragged, icy crescent of Rhea, here imaged in color by the Cassini spacecraft. The second-largest moon of Saturn shines brightly through gaps in the rings

#cassini #space #nasa

A single image: 120 million km of rings. Cassini captured Saturn's rings in stunning detail before its grand finale dive into the planet in 2017 — 13 years of science, 4.9 billion km of travel. #Space #Saturn #Cassini #Astronomy

Conjoined Moons

Looking like half of a figure eight, two of Saturn moons appear conjoined in this image from NASA Cassini spacecraft. The moon Dione, at the top in the image, is actually closer to the spacecraft, [...]

Veil of Ice

Saturn's rings, made of countless icy particles, form a translucent veil in this view from NASA's Cassini spacecraft. Saturn's tiny moon Pan, about 17 miles (28 kilometers) across, orbits within the Encke [...]
