Great Dark Spot

A mosaic of two images of Saturn's moon Phoebe taken shortly after Cassini's flyby on June 11, 2004, gives a close-up view of a region near its South Pole. The view, taken about 13,000 kilometers (...

The Cassini spacecraft captures three magnificent sights at once: Saturn's north polar vortex and hexagon along with its expansive rings.

This montage of images shows the precise location of the north pole on Saturn's icy moon Enceladus.

Cassini came close to Saturn's small moon Helene on Feb. 25, 2006, acquiring this high-resolution view. This object seems to be buried in its own crater debris, like another Saturnian moon, Telesto...

The shadow of the moon Mimas strikes the F ring at a different angle than the angle at which it is cast on the A ring, illustrating differences in the vertical heights of the rings in this image ta...

This image of Titan's night side was taken during Cassini¿s very close flyby of the smoggy moon on Feb. 15, 2005. The image shows Titan's thick atmosphere illuminated from behind by sunlight. A d...

Incredible gales blow in Saturn's twisted atmosphere. Winds in this region of Saturn have been measured at greater than 360 kilometers (225 miles) per hour, faster than the most powerful hurricanes...

One hemisphere of Iapetus is covered with very reflective material while the other hemisphere is covered with some of the darkest material in the solar system. The leading hemisphere of Iapetus (...

Delicate Southern Detail September 14, 2004 Full-Res: PIA06476 Wavy cloud bands in Saturn's atmosphere near the south pole show a gre...

This image shows a high-resolution heat intensity map of part of the south polar region of Saturn's moon Enceladus, made from data obtained by NASA's Cassini spacecraft.

This picture shows the asteroids Ida (left) and Gaspra (right) to the same scale.

This mosaic of images from NASA's Cassini spacecraft shows the trail of a great northern storm on Saturn raging in full force. The contrast in the images has been enhanced to make the turbulent par...

NASA's Dawn spacecraft spotted this pair of craters on Ceres on January 25, 2016. The crater at left is named Jaja, after the Abkhazian harvest goddess. Jaja Crater is 13 miles (21 kilometers) in d...

These two images illustrate just how far Cassini traveled to get to Saturn. On the left is one of the earliest images Cassini took of the ringed planet; On the right is one of Cassini's final image...

This image, taken by NASA's Dawn spacecraft, shows the surface of dwarf planet Ceres from an altitude of 915 miles (1,470 kilometers). The image was taken on September 14, 2015, and has a resolutio...

This map of the surface of Saturn's moon Dione illustrates the regions that will be imaged by Cassini during the spacecraft's very close flyby of the moon on Oct. 11, 2005. At closest approach, the...

Sunlight makes visible the faint band called the E ring as two moons meet in the sky. Enceladus (505 kilometers, or 314 miles across) and Tethys (1,071 kilometers, or 665 miles across) appear clo...

Bright clouds twist and twirl in the fast-moving and turbulent winds in the Saturnian north. Hints of organized jets can also be seen. This view is centered on a region 24 degrees north of Saturn'...

High Above Saturn's Cloud Tops July 2, 2004 Full-Res: PIA06346 These graphs illustrate wind strength (bottom) and temperature abo...

These images from NASA's Dawn spacecraft are located in asteroid Vesta's Oppia quadrangle, just south of Vesta's equator; Claudia was chosen to anchor the coordinate system for Vesta used in the sc...

Prometheus pulls material from the tortured F ring in this highly detailed view. The aftereffects of the moon's other recent encounters with the ring are visible above as dark channels in the inner...

Enceladus in the Distance November 3, 2004 Full-Res: PIA06512 Cassini spied the moon Enceladus in the distance beyond Saturn's sou...

Magellan radar image of Wheatley crater on Venus. 

A small moon travels its circuit just outside the main rings of Saturn. Epimetheus (116 kilometers, 72 miles across) is absolutely dwarfed by the giant planet. This view looks toward the unillumin...
