Cassini զոնդը լուսանկարներ է ստացել Սատուրնից այն պահին, երբ Արեգակը ծագում էր և նրա շողերը նոր էին սկսում լուսավորել հսկա մոլորակի մատանիները և ամպերի եզրերը:

Սատուրնի «արևածագի» լուսանկարները ստացվել են մոլորակի մատանիների միջով զոնդի շրջագայության ժամանակ: Պատկերները արվել են մոտավորապես 1 մլն կմ հեռավորությունից: Ներկայացնում է strana.ua-ը:

Throughout the years, NASA’s Cassini spacecraft has viewed Saturn’s rings in just about every way imaginable, from faraway looks at the stunning bands of cosmic material, to up-close observations of their peculiarities. In a breathtaking new image, Saturn’s rings now appear just a ghostly brushstroke in front of the planet’s sunlit atmosphere

The Cassini spacecraft has circled Saturn for nearly 13 years, gathering unprecedented insight on the ringed planet and its many moons. A dramatic new video shared by NASA looks back at some of the early highlights of the Cassini mission, compiling clips from several flybys and set to eerie music

Cassini has been gathering observations of Saturn for over a decade, after arriving at the massive planet back in 2004. Now, it’s running out of fuel, and scientists have planned to end its mission by crashing to craft into Saturn itself

This dramatic new video created by Vimeo user Chris Abbas shows yet another look at the extensive data collected by the craft over the years, as scientists prepare for its death

The video, set to Nine Inch Nails’ Ghosts I-IV, begins with views of Saturn’s rings, before moving on through moons, clouds, and even glimpses of the massive planet itself

The video offers a breathtaking new perspective reminiscent of science fiction, showing some of Cassini’s most remarkable observations as never seen before

‘Soon some of Saturn’s moon shoot past,' in the new video, NASA's APOD explains. And, features such as 'Saturn’s unusually wavy F-ring that is constrained by the two shepherd moons that are also continually perturbing it' can be seen throughout

Cassini began the first of 22 'Grand Finale Orbits' through an unexplored gap on April 26 before it eventually takes its final plunge into the planet. This graphic shows these orbits alongside the Ring-Grazing orbits the craft has undergone over the past 13 years. The orbit of Titan, one of Saturn's moons, is shown in dark green and the direction of Earth is shown in white

Recent observations by Cassini have revealed new insight on some of the features first detected by the craft not long after its arrival to Saturn. An up close look at Saturn's rings can be seen above
