Cassini Video Reels for Download

This illustration shows Cassini above Saturn's northern hemisphere prior to making one of its Grand Finale dives.

This video highlights Dawn's top accomplishments during its orbit around the giant asteroid Vesta.

This still is from a short computer-animated film that highlights Cassini's accomplishments and Saturn and reveals the science-packed final orbits between April and September 2017.

Vesta and Ceres reside in the boundary area of the asteroid belt, where the composition of bodies changes from being almost dry to showing the effects of hydration.

Ben Holt tells how he fell in love with the ocean as a teenager and how that lead to a career as a research scientist.

As Huygens descends Titan's atmosphere, Cassini will record the data from 72,000 kilometers (about 44,700 miles).

Rotating asteroids have a tough time sticking to their orbits. Their surfaces heat up during the day and cool down at night, giving off radiation that can act as a sort of mini-thruster.
