This image from NASA's Dawn spacecraft of asteroid Vesta shows Sossia crater, which is the crater partially surrounded by dark material. Sossia crater has a reasonably fresh rim and patches of dark...

+ Original version + Color-exagerated version With giant Saturn hanging in the blackness and sheltering Cassini from the sun's blinding glare, the spacecraft viewed the rings as never before, reve...

+ Annotated version The northern and southern hemispheres of Rhea are seen in these polar stereographic maps, mosaicked from the best-available Cassini and Voyager images. Six Voyager images fill...

Saturn appears to Cassini's cameras as a thin, sunlit crescent in this unearthly view.

Part of the southern hemisphere on dwarf planet Ceres is seen in this image taken by NASA's Dawn spacecraft. Hamori crater, named after a Japanese god and protector of tree leaves, is the large cra...

This almost surreal view of Iapetus was acquired by Cassini about 10 minutes after the spacecraft's closest approach to the icy moon during a close flyby on New Year's Eve 2004.

The F ring and outer edge of the A ring can be seen in this image. A kink feature is visible in the F ring, probably caused by Prometheus or Pandora, the F ring's shepherd moons. Another moon, Dap...

Mimas is caught in the spotlight beneath Saturn's rings in this amazing view from Cassini. Notable is the brightened outermost edge of the A ring beyond the narrow Keeler gap and the periodic brigh...

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....

Hydrogen is most abundant in areas with low reflectivity, or albedo, on the giant asteroid Vesta, as shown in this contour map from NASA's Dawn mission.

This view from NASA's Dawn spacecraft, taken on June 6, 2016, shows Takel Crater (at top left) on Ceres. Takel is 14 miles (22 kilometers) wide and exhibits streaks of bright material on its walls.

For more than 22 years, since before Cassini even launched, summer interns helped the mission happen. But with the spacecraft's journey ending in September, the current summer interns will be Cassi...

This image shows grooves in the southern part of Saturn's moon Enceladus. 

Dione appears small and far off in this Cassini view, which nonetheless manages to capture a detailed look at the moon's beautiful bright streaks, or "linea." The linea are a system of braided cany...

This image of Ontario Lacus, the largest lake on the southern hemisphere of Saturn’s moon Titan, was obtained by NASA’s Cassini spacecraft on Jan. 12, 2010. North is up in this image. Objects app...

The face of Dione is almost fully lit as the Cassini spacecraft flies in between this moon and the sun with Dione at low phase. With a few hundred pixels of its digital camera, Cassini details do...

A fresh look at Saturn's moon Enceladus reveals tempting new details about the brightest real estate in the solar system. This false-color image shows that some of the linear features on Enceladus ...

Influence of Mimas October 29, 2004 Full-Res: PIA06509 Mimas, seen here beyond Saturn's rings, is a major sculptor of Saturn's rin...

The complex and dynamic atmosphere of Titan displays multiple haze layers near the north pole in this view, which also provides an excellent look at the detached stratospheric haze layer that surro...

+ Brightening Adiri -- Unannotated Images from NASA's Cassini spacecraft show changes caused by methane rain in the bright Adiri region near the equator of Saturn's largest moon, Titan. Altho...

This global color mosaic of Saturn's moon Dione was produced from images taken by NASA's Cassini spacecraft during its first 10 years exploring the Saturn system.

Saturn's moon Epimetheus moves in front of the larger moon Janus as seen by the Cassini spacecraft. This view looks toward the leading hemispheres of Epimetheus (113 kilometers, or 70 miles across...

These three enhanced-color views of an equatorial region on Saturn’s moon Rhea were made from data obtained by NASA’s Cassini spacecraft. The colors have been enhanced to show colorful splotches an...

This image, one of the first obtained by NASA's Dawn spacecraft in its low altitude mapping orbit, shows many buried craters located within the equatorial trough region of the giant asteroid Vesta.

This mosaic of images from the Surface Stereo Imager camera on NASA's Phoenix Mars Lander shows several trenches dug by Phoenix, plus a corner of the spacecraft's deck and the Martian arctic plain ...
