Flight across Titan

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...

+ Version with labels Cassini shot past the surface of Saturn's moon Enceladus on Aug. 11, 2008, acquiring a set of seven high-resolution images targeting known jet source locations on the...

Jupiter's Magnetosphere Made Visible February 27, 2002 The vast magnetosphere of charged particles whirling around Jupiter, normally invisible, can be imaged by a new type of instrument a...

+ See T-17 Flyby Page N00065334.jpg was taken Sept. 8, 2006 and received on Earth Sept. 8, 2006. The camera was pointing toward TITAN at approximately 137,854 kilometers away, and the image was ta...

Light from the star Beta Crucis (Mimosa) breaks through the plane of the A ring in the center of this image of a stellar occultation. Several of Cassini's remote-sensing instruments use occultatio...

The vortex, which is a mass of gas swirling around the south pole high in the moon's atmosphere, can be seen in the lower right of this view. See Titan's Colorful South Polar Vortex and Titan's Sou...

NASA's Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter spotted the final resting place of Israel's Beresheet Moon lander.

A collection of new ring phenomena, first observed in the sequence of images taken of the dark side of Saturn's rings immediately after Cassini entered orbit, may be evidence of the clumping and ag...

This beautiful look at Saturn's south polar atmosphere shows the hurricane-like polar storm swirling there. Sunlight highlights its high cloud walls, especially around the 10 o'clock position. The...

A fresh look at Saturn's moon Enceladus reveals tempting new details about the brightest real estate in the solar system. This false-color image shows that some of the linear features on Enceladus ...

Voyager 2 obtained this high-resolution picture of Saturn's rings on August 22, 1981 when the spacecraft was 4 million kilometers (2.5 million miles) away. Evident here are the numerous "spoke" fea...

This movie sequence of images is from the last dedicated observation of the Enceladus plume by NASA's Cassini spacecraft.

JPL technicians reposition and level the Cassini orbiter in the Payload Hazardous Servicing Facility at the Kennedy Space Center in July 1997, after stacking the craft's upper equipment module on t...

This poster shows a flattened (Mercator) projection of the Huygens probe's view from 10 kilometers altitude (6 miles). The images that make up this view were taken on Jan. 14, 2005, with the descen...

This radar image of the Shangri-La Sand Sea on Titan from NASA's Cassini spacecraft was produced using the same radar data as PIA20710, but shows a larger area of Titan's surface. 

The shadow of the moon Tethys is cast onto Saturn's A ring, almost blanketing the Enke Gap. The novel illumination geometry created as Saturn approaches its August 2009 equinox allows moons orbiti...

Capturing the interplay between light and shadow, the Cassini spacecraft looks toward the night side of Saturn where sunlight reflected off the rings has dimly illuminated what would otherwise be t...

Ligeia Mare, shown here in a false-color image from NASA's Cassini mission, is the second largest known body of liquid on Saturn's moon Titan.

Phoebe's Radiation June 23, 2004 Full-Res: PIA06402 This image shows thermal radiation from the day and night sides of Saturn's mo...

The northern polar region of Saturn's moon Tethys seen in this Cassini flyby image is a ponderously ancient surface. Above the prominent peaked crater Telemachus are the remnants of a very old cra...

The thin and meandering ribbon-like filaments seen here are much like those seen in PIA07594, indicative of two-dimensional turbulence. Contrast in the image was enhanced to aid the visibility of ...

This composite image shows a massive mountain range running just south of Titan's equator. Near the center of the image, the mountain range runs from southeast to northwest. It is about 150 kilomet...
