Hello from Saturn, essentially on the opposite side of the sun as seen from Earth! This annual occurrence called solar conjunction, when Saturn (and Cassini) nearly disappear behind the sun.

SDO collected images of the rarest predictable solar event—the transit of Venus across the face of the Sun in 2012.

This audio clip was created from radio signals received by the radio and plasma wave science instrument on the Cassini spacecraft.

This video from NASA's Dawn mission shows that the gravity field of Vesta closely matches the surface topography of the giant asteroid Vesta.

Everyone likes to check the weather in a far away destination before they travel there. This is especially true for spaceflight, where the destination may be where no one has gone before.
