Cassini mission

An enhanced colour image of Daphnis embedded in Saturn's rings, kicking up waves of material. The images in the mosaic were taken in visible light, using the Cassini's narrow-angle camera at a distance of approximately 28,000km from the ring moon. Image scale is 170m per pixel.

Like Earth, Titan has an atmosphere, seen here as a hazy blue outline around the moon’s limb. But Cassini scientists have discovered another similarity between our planet and Saturn’s largest moon.To the upper left of Titan in this image taken by the Cassini spacecraft is Tethys, another of Saturn’s satellites.Credit: Cassini Imaging Team, ISS, JPL, ESA, NASA
