Dreaming of Saturn 🪐 Saturn’s graceful lanes of orbiting ice — its iconic rings — wind their way around the planet to pass beyond the horizon in this view taken on Aug. 12, 2017 by the wide-angle camera on the NASASolarSystem Cassini spacecraft. Look closely at the upper right of this image: Saturn’s small moon Pandora (25.3 miles, or 40.7 km, in mean radius) can be seen orbiting just beyond the F ring. The image was obtained at a distance of approximately 581,000 miles (935,000 km) from Saturn. The Cassini mission, which ended on Sept. 15, 2017, after two decades in space, was a cooperative project of NASA, ESA (the EuropeanSpaceAgency) and the Italian Space Agency. It studied Saturn and its complex system of rings and moons in unprecedented detail, returning an enormous collection of data that will continue to yield new discoveries for decades.
