Moving Cassini for Testing

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

Cassini looks toward the brilliant disk of Saturn, surrounded by the icy lanes of its rings. Faint wisps of cloud are visible in the atmosphere. At bottom, ring shadows trace delicate, curving line...

+ View Full Res This image was obtained by Cassini's radar instrument during a flyby on Aug. 25, 2009. The radar antenna was pointing toward Titan at an altitude of 970 kilometers (603 miles) duri...

Dione is partly occulted by Saturn's rings in this nearly edge-on view, taken from less than a tenth of a degree above the ringplane. The side of the rings nearer to the Cassini spacecraft was mask...

Clouds in Saturn's atmosphere create an intricate pattern reminiscent of whipped cream swirling in coffee.

Gazing off toward the horizon is thought-provoking no matter what body's horizon it is.

This image from NASA's Dawn spacecraft shows many fresh craters, several with bright ejecta rays, which were formed by impacts into the floor of asteroid Vesta's south polar basin.

Cloud streaks stand out on Saturn's largest moon, Titan. The tropospheric clouds seen in the lower left of the image are located at 45 to 55 degrees south latitude on Titan, and the streaks of the...

This close view of Rhea prominently shows two large impact basins on the ancient and battered moon. The great age of these basins is suggested by the large number of smaller craters that are overpr...

This radar image of Titan's well-known dunes is distinctive because it may show an age relationship between different classes of features on the surface of this frigid world. Taken by Cassini's ...

The objectives of the Cassini mission can be divided into five scientific categories. Titan, at the upper right, is the target for the Huygens probe, which will descend to the surface of Saturn's l...

Peering over the shoulder of giant Saturn, through its rings, and across interplanetary space, NASA's Cassini spacecraft spies the bright, cloudy terrestrial planet, Venus. The vast distance from S...

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. 

These side-by-side natural color and false-color views show cratered terrain on the anti-Saturn hemisphere of Tethys -- the side that always faces away from Saturn. The rim of the immense impact b...

An image of Phobos by the High-Resolution Stereo Camera on board ESA's Mars Express spacecraft on January 22, 2007.

This image shows the location of an area known as Sotra Facula on Saturn’s moon Titan. The black and white swaths show data obtained by the radar instrument on NASA’s Cassini spacecraft. The swaths...

This series of images captures cloud patterns near Jupiter's south pole, looking up towards the planet’s equator. 

These images from NASA's Dawn spacecraft are located in asteroid Vesta's Sextilia quadrangle, in Vesta's southern hemisphere.

Janus skirts the edges of Saturn's main rings. The Cassini spacecraft has shown that this small moon and its co-orbital companion, Epimetheus, also share their orbit with a diffuse ring of fine par...

Galileo and Cassini Image Two Giant Plumes on Io March 29, 2001 Two tall volcanic plumes and the rings of red material they have deposited onto surrounding surface areas appear in images...

: This mosaic combines views captured by Cassini as it made the first dive of the mission's Grand Finale on April 26, 2017, and shows details in bands and swirls in the atmosphere.

This image of Ceres is part of a sequence taken by NASA's Dawn spacecraft on May 22, 2015, from a distance of 3,200 miles (5,100 kilometers) with a resolution of 1,600 feet (480 meters) per pixel.

This image from NASA's Dawn spacecraft shows the hummocky (wavy/undulating) terrain of Vesta's Rheasilvia quadrangle, which is the south polar region.

From high above Saturn's northern hemisphere, NASA's Cassini spacecraft gazes over the planet's north pole, with its intriguing hexagon and bullseye-like central vortex.  

Saturn's Ring Shadow, Then and Now August 5, 2004 Full-Res: PIA06415 The image on the left was taken on Nov. 1, 1980, by NASA's V...
