Images from Cassini

Scientists have discovered a giant cyclone swirling on Saturn's north pole, and observed a similar storm on the planet's south pole in detail 10 times greater than before, thanks to new images from NASA's Cassini spacecraft. The new images, taken in infrared light, reveal for the first time a...  

Posted on behalf of Ashley Yeager Saturn’s all spun up. New views of the planet from NASA’s Cassini spacecraft reveal the full glory of the enormous cyclones spinning at the gas giant’s poles. "These are truly massive cyclones, hundreds of times stronger than the most giant hurricanes on...  

The most recent spacecraft telemetry was acquired on Oct. 7 from the Deep Space Network tracking complex at Goldstone, California. The Cassini spacecraft is in an excellent state of health and all subsystems are operating normally.  

The Cassini mission has released some of the most detailed images of Saturn's poles yet, revealing vast cyclones churning up the gas giant's atmosphere in the north and south. These observations show very similar storms to the south pole observations imaged by the NASA spacecraft in 2006, only...  

Pasadena CA (SPX) Oct 14, 2008 - New images from NASA's Cassini spacecraft reveal a giant cyclone at Saturn's north pole, and show that a similarly monstrous cyclone churning at Saturn's south pole is powered by Earth-like storm patterns.  

PASADENA, Calif., Oct. 13 (UPI) -- New images from the U.S. space agency's Cassini spacecraft reveal giant cyclones at both of Saturn's poles, posing a mystery for scientists.  

New images from the JPL-managed NASA's Cassini spacecraft show a giant cyclone at Saturn's north pole, as well as a similar one churning at the planet's south pole that is generated by Earth-like storm ...  

As major league baseball readies for the World Series, NASA's Cassini team will come to bat twice this month when the spacecraft flies by Saturn's geyser moon, Enceladus.  

New images from NASA's Cassini spacecraft reveal a giant cyclone at Saturn's north pole, and show that a similarly monstrous cyclone churning at Saturn's south pole is powered by Earth-like storm patterns.  

Riding with Robots writes "New images of Saturn from the robotic spacecraft Cassini are shedding new light on monstrous storms that swirl at both poles of the ringed planet. 'These are truly massive cyclones, hundreds of times stronger than the most giant hurricanes on Earth,' said one mission...  

Near-infrared images from NASA's Cassini spacecraft create more questions about the Ringed World's weather systems.

PORTLAND, Ore. — NASA's Cassini spacecraft orbiting Saturn made its closest fly-by of the moon Enceladus on Thursday (Oct. 9). Analyzing molecules being ejected from geysers on the moon's surface, Cassini will provide scientists with data on whether water is present on the satellite.  

The most recent spacecraft telemetry was acquired on Sept. 30 from the Deep Space Network tracking complex at Madrid, Spain. The Cassini spacecraft is in an excellent state of health and all subsystems are operating normally.
