Peeking at Saturn through Titan's atmosphere

The Cassini spacecraft at Saturn has been busy sending back a collection of beautiful scenes from that distant planet and its moons and rings. The folks at the NASA Cassini mission center have postI love this view of Saturn through Titan’s atmosphere.

I love this view of Saturn through Titan’s atmosphere. It’s just not something we see from Earth every day. I’m also particularly fond of the Rhea/Enceladus occultation movie they have posted. It shows a 20-minute sequence of 40 images through the Cassini spacecraft’s narrow-angle camera pointed at Enceladus. The larger moon slips right past icy Rhea in the foreground. That is definitely NOT something you’re going to see from Earth too often!ed the collection to celebrate the end of the year.

Take a few minutes to visit the Cassini site at the link above and browse through the other images they’ve posted and enjoy the New Years’ eve celebration at Saturn.
