The view was acquired on Sept. 14, 2017 at 19:59 UTC (spacecraft event time). The view was taken in visible light using the Cassini spacecraft wide-angle camera at a distance of 394,000 miles (634,000 ...

An curved arrow pointing right. NASA's Cassini spacecraft plunged into Saturn's atmosphere on September 15, marking an end to its mission to study the ringed planet and its many, mysterious moons.

And that they were able to pick up from Earth, it turns out. And then Cassini used it to lock onto Huygens. You can do one critical piece of science with the carrier signal alone and that is ...

Twenty years ago, a rocket launched from Cape Canaveral in Florida on a billion mile trek to Saturn. The photos the probe took revealed some astonishing things about Saturn, its rings and moons.

Saturn has decisively claimed the crown. With the discovery of 128 new moons, the ringed planet’s total count has soared to 274 — nearly twice as many as all other planets combined. Jupiter now trails ...

At 5 am ET on Wednesday, NASA will fly its $3.26 billion Cassini spacecraft where no spacecraft has flown before — in the deepest region of Saturn's rings between the planet and its inner-most ring.

another principal objective of the Cassini-Huygens mission is to study the chemical and mineralogical composition of the planet's moons using the spectrometers onboard the Cassini probe (and in the ...

named after the Nasa mission with the Cassini spacecraft carrying the Huygens probe. Just like the Nasa mission that had its fair share of nail-biting moments, this release had some nail-biting ...
