Cassini’s Latest Discoveries :

This view of Titan uncovers new territory not previously seen at this resolution by Cassini's cameras. Some of the territory in this view was covered by observations made by the Cassini synthetic aperture radar in October 2004 and February 2005.





Cassini Views of Titan:

These three views of Titan from the Cassini spacecraft illustrate how different the same place can look in different wavelengths of light. Cassini's cameras have numerous filters that reveal features above and beneath the shroud of Titan's atmosphere. All of these images were taken with the Cassini spacecraft wide angle camera on April 16, 2005, at distances ranging from approximately 173,000 to 168,200 kilometers (107,500 to 104,500 miles) from Titan and from a Sun-Titan-spacecraft, or phase, angle of 56 degrees.



Enceladus to Scale

Saturn's moon Enceladus is only 505 kilometers (314 miles) across, small enough to fit within the length of the United Kingdom, as illustrated here. The intriguing icy moon also could fit comfortably within the states of Arizona or Colorado.

Ringside with Dione:

Saturn's moon Dione, with the planet and rings also viewable. The images were obtained with the Cassini spacecraft wide-angle camera on October 11, 2005.


Craters, Craters Everywhere

Craters within craters cover the scarred face of Saturn's moon Rhea in this oblique, high-resolution view of terrain on the moon's western hemisphere. This is one of the highest-resolution images of Rhea's surface obtained during Cassini's close flyby on Nov. 26, 2005
