The Cassini spacecraft looks toward the sunlit face of Saturn's rings, whose shadows continue to slide southward on the planet toward their temporary disappearance during equinox in August 2009. T...

Saturn's rings are dark and elusive in this view from high above the ringplane, but their shadows on the planet give them away. This view looks toward the unlit side of the rings from about 37 deg...

The Cassini-Huygens mission was recognized with an award in the space category at the 2005 World Technology Awards in San Francisco on Nov. 15. From left to right: Enrico Flamini, Italian Space Ag...

This Cassini spacecraft image provides a view of the southern portion of Tethys' trailing hemisphere. Prominent features include the huge canyon, Ithaca Chasma, approximately centered in this view...

Artist's concept of the Dawn spacecraft orbiting Ceres.

These images from NASA's Dawn spacecraft show Tuccia crater, after which Tuccia quadrangle is named. Tuccia crater is located about 40 kilometers (25 miles) northward of the rim of Vesta's large so...

Two small moons race across the face of Saturn. The planet's icy rings cast dark shadows onto the feathery clouds below. Janus (179 kilometers, or 111 miles across) appears above the rings near ce...

Saturn poses with Tethys in this Cassini view. The C ring casts thin, string-like shadows on the northern hemisphere. Above that lurks the shadow of the much denser B ring. Cloud bands in the atmo...

Is Dione (698 miles or 1123 kilometers across) suddenly larger than Rhea (949 miles or 1527 kilometers across)?

This image from NASA's Cassini spacecraft reveals the wind patterns within a large vortex that was spawned by a giant northern storm on Saturn. The arrows indicate the local direction of the winds....

In this image of the F ring, taken shortly after its ring particles encountered the shepherd moon Prometheus, the disruption to the ring caused by the moon is evident. The bright core of the ring ...

+ View Full-Res This image was obtained by Cassini's radar instrument during a flyby on Dec. 12, 2006. The radar antenna was pointing toward Titan at an altitude of 1,000 kilometers (621 miles) ...

Titan and Saturn have very few things in common, but a hazy appearance is one feature they share. Although their faces seem similar in images like this, appearances can be misleading.

Saturn’s rings display their subtle colors in this view captured on Aug. 22, 2009, by NASA’s Cassini spacecraft. The particles that make up the rings range in size from smaller than a grain of sand...

From Los Angeles (and western states) wave at Saturn low on the eastern horizon from 2:27 to 2:42 p.m PDT on July 19, 2013. Saturn’s approximate location is shown, but it will not be not visible in...

This Cassini image shows an assortment of vortices and wavy interfaces where air masses moving at different speeds intersect. Bright, narrow and linear cloud features of the north appear to be movi...

This set of three images shows views three seconds apart as the larger of Mars' two moons, Phobos, passed directly in front of the sun as seen by NASA's Mars rover Curiosity.

Click here to play sounds of Saturn's radio emissions, which have changes in frequency (127Kb Wave Sound). Saturn is a source of intense radio emissions, which have been monitored by the Cassini...

This image taken on August 15, 2016, shows the eastern part of a feature called Nar Sulcus in Yalode Crater on dwarf planet Ceres, as seen by NASA's Dawn spacecraft.

Atlas and Pan emerge from the far side of Saturn. Light passing through the upper reaches of the planet''s atmosphere is refracted, or bent, distorting the image of the rings beyond. Pan (26 kilom...

This color photo of Neptune's large satellite Triton was obtained on Aug. 24 1989 at a range of 530,000 kilometers (330,000 miles).

Among the highest features seen by NASA's Dawn spacecraft on Ceres so far is a mountain about 4 miles (6 kilometers) high, which is roughly the elevation of Mount McKinley in Alaska's Denali Nation...

This anaglyph image shows the topography of part of Vesta's equatorial region. These craters are classed as ruin eroded craters and are most clear in the center of the image, above the troughs. You...

At first glance, Saturn's rings appear to be intersecting themselves in an impossible way. In actuality, this view from NASA's Cassini spacecraft shows the rings in front of the planet, upon which ...
