Sept. 15, 2016

Your browser cannot play the provided video file(s).

NASA's Cassini spacecraft stared at Saturn for nearly 44 hours on April 25-27, 2016, to obtain this movie showing just over four Saturn days.

Transcript

Visible at top is the giant hexagon-shaped jet stream that surrounds the planet's north pole. Each side of this huge shape is slightly wider than Earth.

Cassini will begin a series of dives between the planet and its rings in April 2017, building toward the dramatic end of it mission -- a final plunge into the planet, six months later.
