Special Image Release: Dione on the Edge

Mon, 09 Apr 2018 08:30:00 MDT

Saturn’s moon Dione drifts before the planet’s rings, seen here almost edge on. For all their immense width, the rings are relatively paper-thin, about 30 feet (10 meters) in most places. For its part, Dione is about 698 miles (1,123 kilometers) across.

Special Image Release: Taking a Shine to Enceladus

Mon, 02 Apr 2018 08:30:00 MDT

Saturn’s rings cast shadows on the planet’s cloud tops, providing a perfect backdrop for the brilliant sphere of Saturn’s moon Enceladus. The tiny world’s bright white surface results in part from a snow of material originating from the towering plume of icy particles at Enceladus’ south pole.

Special Image Release: The Edge of the Night

Mon, 19 Mar 2018 08:30:00 MDT

Saturn’s shadow sweeps across the rings in a view captured on Nov. 5, 2006 by NASA’s Cassini spacecraft.

Special Image Release: Dramatic Dione

Mon, 12 Mar 2018 00:00:00 MDT

Cassini captured this striking view of Saturn’s moon Dione on July 23, 2012. Dione is about 698 miles (1,123 kilometers) across.

Special Image Release: Glare on the \'Window\'

Mon, 05 Mar 2018 00:00:00 MST

In this image, Cassini sees Saturn and the rings through a haze of Sun glare on the camera lens. If you could travel to Saturn in person and look out the window of your spacecraft when the Sun was at a certain angle, you might see a view very similar to this one.

Daily Image Release: Final Frontier

Mon, 19 Feb 2018 08:30:00 MST

This view of Saturn looks toward the planet's night side, lit by sunlight reflected from the rings. A mosaic of some of the very last images captured by Cassini’s cameras, it shows the location where the spacecraft would enter the planet's atmosphere hours later.
