Mid-Range View

This view from NASA's Dawn spacecraft shows part of the southwestern rim of Yalode Crater on Ceres. Yalode is one of the largest impact basins on Ceres. A great deal of material has slumped down th...

The northern and southern hemispheres of Titan are seen in these polar stereographic maps, assembled in 2015 using the best-available images of the giant Saturnian moon from NASA's Cassini mission.

If all the material that makes up Saturn's rings were compressed into a single body, it could make a moon roughly 80 percent the size of Saturn's moon Enceladus (505 kilometers, or 314 miles across...

Saturn's A ring appears bright compared to the thin F ring, which is shepherded by the moon Prometheus, in this view from the Cassini spacecraft. Prometheus can be seen near the F ring on the midd...

Titan's First Close-Up October 26, 2004 This image is one of the closest ever taken of Saturn's hazy moon Titan. It was captured by Cassini's imaging scien...

Artist's graphic of the asteroid belt, part of Dawn's Mission Art series.

This area imaged by the Cassini radar system during the spacecraft's third close flyby of Titan on Feb. 15, 2005, is just to the east of the Circus Maximus impact feature (see http://photojournal.j...

NASA's Cassini spacecraft captures a composite near-true-color view of the huge storm churning through the atmosphere in Saturn's northern hemisphere.

Prometheus shows up bright in this image of the dark side of the rings. The bright band that appears above Prometheus in this image is the Cassini division separating the (very dark) B ring and th...

Just before Saturn's August 2009 equinox, Dione joined other Saturnian moons in casting shadows on the planet's main rings.

Sunlight scatters through Saturn's rings, emerging on the unilluminated side. Prometheus (102 kilometers, or 63 miles across, lower right) and Pandora (84 kilometers, or 52 miles across, upper left...

A recent Hubble Space Telescope view reveals Uranus surrounded by its four major rings and by 10 of its 17 known satellites. 

A couple of craters share a crescent of lit terrain on Saturn's moon Rhea. Lit terrain seen here is on the trailing hemisphere of Rhea (1528 kilometers, or 949 miles across). This view is centered...

The Hubble Space Telescope is deployed from the cargo bay of space shuttle Discovery on April 25, 1990 as part of STS-31.

This montage of images from the NASA Cassini and Voyager missions shows that structural evolution has occurred in Saturn's D ring (the innermost ring) during the quarter century separating the two ...

These images from NASA's Dawn spacecraft are dominated by the 35km diameter Bellicia crater on asteroid Vesta, after which Bellicia quadrangle is named.

Like an ancient mariner charting the coastline of an unexplored wilderness, Cassini's repeated encounters with Titan are turning a mysterious world into a more familiar place. During a Titan flyby...

Asteroid 2003 SD220 as seen by radar as it flew past Earth in mid-December 2018.

Bright mid-latitude clouds near the bottom of this view hint at the ongoing cycling of methane on Titan. These cloud streaks are near the same latitude as similar clouds observed above different lo...

The biggest, most long-lasting Saturnian storm seen by either NASA's Cassini or Voyager spacecraft roils the atmosphere of the gas giant in this nearly true-color mosaic of Cassini images. See Enc...

Cassini gazes down toward Saturn's unilluminated ringplane to find Janus hugging the outer edge of rings. This view looks toward the rings from about three degrees above the ringplane. The image ...

An intricate, fingerprint-like pattern of dunes is seen in this dramatic radar image of Saturn's moon Titan captured by NASA's Cassini spacecraft on May 21, 2009 from an altitude of 965 kilomet...

This Cassini false-color mosaic shows all synthetic-aperture radar images to date of Titan's north polar region.

The moon Tethys occupies the right foreground of this Saturnian scene. This view looks toward the anti-Saturn side of Tethys (1,062 kilometers, or 660 miles across) and toward the northern, sunlit...

NASA's Dawn spacecraft took these images of dwarf planet Ceres. The map overlaid on the right gives scientists hints about Ceres' internal structure.
