Reappearing Rhea
With giant Saturn hanging in the blackness and sheltering Cassini from the sun's blinding glare, the spacecraft viewed the rings as never before, revealing previously unknown faint rings and even glimpsing its home world.

In Saturn's Shadow
This false-color view taken by NASA's Cassini spacecraft is one of a panel of three images of Saturn's moon Iapetus showing the boundary of the global 'color dichotomy' on the hemisphere of this moon facing away from Saturn.

Color Dichotomy on Iapetus
This image shows clouds in the mid-southern latitudes of Saturn's largest moon, Titan, one of a series of images captured by NASA's Cassini spacecraft a few months after fall began in the southern hemisphere.

Titan's Moving Mid-Latitude Clouds
NASA's Cassini spacecraft examines the rough dark-light dichotomy of the terrain on Saturn's moon Iapetus. Lit terrain seen here is on the Saturn-facing side of Iapetus.

Iapetus' Puzzling Surface
Few sights in the solar system are more strikingly beautiful than softly hued Saturn embraced by the shadows of its stately rings.

Moons in Motion
The bright arc within Saturn's G ring is shown truncated by the shadow of the planet at the bottom of this image captured by NASA's Cassini spacecraft.

Changing Seasons on Titan
Saturn's moon Tethys casts a shadow on the planet's A ring alongside the larger shadow cast by the planet itself in this image taken as Saturn approached its August 2009 equinox.

Shadows Big and Small
The Cassini spacecraft looks toward Rhea's cratered, icy landscape with the dark line of Saturn's ringplane and the planet's murky atmosphere as a background. Rhea is Saturn's second-largest moon, at 1,528 kilometers (949 miles) across.

Icy Profile
Saturn's shadow interrupts the planet's rings, leaving just thin slivers of the rings visible in this image, which shows a pair of the planet's small moons. Helene is in the center top of the image, Epimetheus is in the lower right.

Splinters of Rings
Orbiting near the plane of Saturn's rings, NASA's Cassini spacecraft looks across the span of the rings to spy the small moon Epimetheus. The brightest spoke is visible on the left of the image.

Shadow Between the Shepherds

Saturnscape After Equinox
These two images, taken four years before Saturn’s August 2009 equinox by NASA's Cassini spacecraft, indicate the streaks in these images are likely evidence of impacts into the planet’s rings.

New Views on Old Finds

Extensive Spiral Corrugations
The shadow of the moon Mimas strikes the F ring at a different angle than the angle at which it is cast on the A ring, illustrating differences in the vertical heights of the rings in this image taken as Saturn approaches its August 2009 equinox.

Crooked Shadow
NASA's Cassini spacecraft captures the shadow of Saturn's moon Tethys as it seems to disappear as it crosses the planet's rings.

Shadow from the Dark Side

From Rings to Planet
Gray Mimas appears to hover above the colorful rings. The large crater seen on the right side of the moon is named for William Herschel, who discovered Mimas in 1789.

Rebel Base in Range
Large regions of Saturn's night side are illuminated by the planet's gleaming rings. Except for a sliver of the sunlit crescent at left, this view shows a part of the planet lit almost entirely by ringshine.
