Cassini’s spectacular view of Saturn
Words cannot do this Cassini image justice. The NASA spacecraft captured this view on September 16, 2006 while the ringed giant was eclipsing the Sun from Cassini’s perspective, and it remains one of the most incredible views ever taken of Saturn, or any solar system object for that matter. The panorama was stitched together from 165 images captured by the probe’s wide-angle camera during a span of nearly three hours.
