+ View Full Res These images were obtained by Cassini's radar instrument during a flyby on Feb. 22, 2008. The radar antenna was pointing toward Titan at an altitude of 1,000 kilometers (621 mi...

Saturn and its satellites Tethys (outer left), Enceladus (inner left) and Mimas (right of rings) are seen in this mosaic of images taken by NASA's Voyager 1 on Oct. 30, 1980, from a distance of 1...

The inset perspective view from NASA's Dawn space of Ceres' bright spot Occator Crator is overlaid with data concerning the composition. Red signifies a high abundance of carbonates, while gray ind...

Viking 2 Orbiter image of the Martian satellite Deimos taken from 1400 km.

This image was taken on 2016-09-21 14:48 (PDT) and received on Earth 2016-09-21 22:59 (PDT). 

NASA's Dawn spacecraft took this image on June 13, 2016, showing the limb of Ceres from above an equatorial region east of Kirnis Crater.

This strongly enhanced false color view is a departure from the familiar bluish north and golden south seen in natural color Cassini spacecraft images, but the contrast between regions north and so...

The moon Rhea moves behind Saturn's largest moon, Titan, in this "mutual event" imaged by the Cassini spacecraft. Mutual event sequences, in which one moon passes close to or in front of another, ...

The "opposition effect" can be seen in this image of Saturn's B ring. The bright spot occurs where the angle between the spacecraft, the Sun and the rings is near zero. Studies of the opposition e...

This is an image of the planet Uranus taken by the spacecraft Voyager 2 on January 14th 1986 from a distance of approximately 7.8 milllion miles ( 12.7 million km ).

This image, taken by NASA's Dawn spacecraft, shows dwarf planet Ceres from an altitude of 2,700 miles (4,400 kilometers). The image, with a resolution of 1,400 feet (410 meters) per pixel, was take...

Map of the trajectory NASA's Magellan spacecraft took to explore Venus.

The clouds of Saturn swirl, billow and merge. These bands are layered into stratified cloud decks consisting of droplets of ammonia, ammonium hydrosulfide and water set aloft in a sea of hydrogen a...

Saturn's rings obscure part of Titan's colorful visage in this image from NASA's Cassini spacecraft.

Saturn Storms Observed by Voyager August 5, 2004 Full-Res: PIA01364 Voyager 1 and 2 observed radio signals from lightning which w...

A sliver of "ringshine" pierces the darkness of Saturn's night side. This view looks toward the unilluminated side of the rings from about 58 degrees above the ringplane. The ring shadows fall in...

These images show part of asteroid Vesta's equatorial region, which contains impact craters and troughs (linear depressions).

A group of scientists from NASA's Dawn mission suggests that when sunlight reaches Ceres' Occator Crater, a kind of thin haze of dust and evaporating water forms there. Occator measures about 60 mi...

Multiple jets of icy particles are blasted into space by the active venting on Saturn¿s moon Enceladus. This image was acquired in a viewing geometry that makes the tiny particles in the Enceladus...

The northern and southern hemispheres of Tethys are seen in these polar stereographic maps, mosaicked from the best-available Cassini images. Each map is centered on one of the poles, and surface ...

Epimetheus is one of Saturn's "co-orbital moons" because it shares nearly the same orbit as Janus at a distance of approximately 151,000 kilometers (94,000 miles) from Saturn. Epimetheus is 116 kil...

Looking up toward Saturn's southern hemisphere, the Cassini spacecraft pictures a pair of the planet's moons orbiting in the distance. Tethys and Rhea orbit in the plane of the planet's rings, but...

This image, taken by NASA's Dawn spacecraft, shows high southern latitudes on Ceres from an altitude of 2,700 miles (4,400 kilometers). Zadeni crater, measuring about 80 miles (130 kilometers) acro...

This picture shows the asteroids Ida (left) and Gaspra (right) to the same scale.

This Solar & Heliospheric Observatory (SOHO) image, taken Oct. 24, 2012, at 11:06 a.m. UTC, shows a view of Saturn as it passes behind the sun, Cassini spacecraft in tow. Credit: SOHO - http:...
