Cassini Spacecraft

Saturn looms large before the Cassini spacecraft, its blustery cloud bands in restless motion.

The Cassini spacecraft captured this dramatic view of the unilluminated side of Saturn's rings seen at a high phase angle.

The Cassini spacecraft monitors the myriad cloud forms that drift in Saturn's atmosphere, helping scientists gain a better understanding of how energy is transported around, and from within, the planet.

The Cassini spacecraft snapped this exquisite, close-up view of Saturn's moon Janus, looking toward the south polar region, on Feb. 20, 2008. Janus is 181 kilometers (113 miles) across.
