Radar mapping Titan

Atlas casts a slender shadow on the A ring as the small moon orbits in the Roche Division between Saturn's A ring and thin F ring. Atlas (30 kilometers, or 19 miles across) is the bright dot right...

Raina takes the telescope control and drives to Saturn at a Saturn Observation Campaign event in Altadena, CA.

The three bright, finger-like jets of material seen here suggest that a small object has collided with the core of Saturn's F ring. Cassini spacecraft imaging scientists have shown that the F-ring...

Gazing across the plains of Saturn's icy rings, Cassini catches the F ring shepherd moon Pandora hovering in the distance. See Pandora's Color Close-up for an up-close color view of Pandora (84 ki...

Saturn's moon Helene, seen here with Saturn's nearly edge-on rings, orbits 60 degrees ahead of Dione and is called a "Trojan" moon. The tiny moon Polydeuces (about 5 kilometers or 3 miles across, r...

This view from NASA's Dawn spacecraft shows part of Kaikara Crater (45 miles, 72 kilometers wide) on Ceres. The image is centered at 41 degrees north latitude, 226 degrees east longitude.

This perspective view of Damascus Sulcus was generated using high resolution images of Enceladus acquired in August 2008 at 12 to 30 meters (40 to 100 feet) resolution, together with a new topograp...

Like a giant eye for the giant planet, Saturn's great vortex at its north pole appears to stare back at Cassini as Cassini stares at it.

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...

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 ...

NASA's Dawn spacecraft obtained this 3-D image of asteroid Vesta with its framing camera on Aug. 23 and 28, 2011 at a distance of 1,700 miles (2,740 kilometers). You will need 3D glasses to view th...

This image of Ceres is part of a sequence taken by NASA's Dawn spacecraft on May 7, 2015, from a distance of 8,400 miles (13,600 kilometers).

Two moons orbit serenely before Saturn while large storms churn through the planet's southern hemisphere. The moon Mimas (396 kilometers, or 246 miles across) is on the right. Dione (1,123 kilomet...

NASA's Insight lander used a camera on its robotic arm to capture views of the Sun rising and setting on Mars.

This image from NASA's Dawn spacecraft shows a fresh scarp rimmed crater with many boulders on asteroid Vesta's crater floor. These boulders have diameters of 100-200m, which is roughly the size of...

Epimetheus floats in the distance below center, showing only the barest hint of its irregular shape. Pandora hides herself in the ringplane, near upper right, appearing as little more than a bump. ...

Overexposed Mimas stands starkly against the disk of Saturn as the dim shadow of Epimetheus is captured through the C ring in the planet's rings (right of center at the bottom of the image). In rea...

This image combines two separate views of the giant asteroid Vesta obtained by NASA's Dawn spacecraft. The data reveal a world of many varied, well-separated layers and ingredients.

The cameras on NASA's Cassini spacecraft captured this rare look at Earth and its moon from Saturn orbit on July 19, 2013. The image has been magnified five times. Taken while performing a large wi...

Cassini spies a shadow cast by a vertically extended structure or object in the F ring in this image taken as Saturn approaches its August 2009 equinox. The structure can be seen as a bulge near t...

A quintet of Saturn's moons come together in the Cassini spacecraft's field of view for this portrait.

The craters Takel and Cozobi are featured in this image of Ceres from NASA's Dawn spacecraft. Takel is the young crater with bright material on the left of this image, and Cozobi is the sharply def...
