Breathtaking images of Saturn revealing the planet’s signature rings were collected over a two month period. These pictures were taken from unique angles allowing for above and below revelations of the planet’s true majesty.
The international Cassini spacecraft has beamed back to Earth never-before-seen angles of Saturn from high above and below its majestic rings. Cassini snapped the images while in a highly inclined orbit during the past two months.
The $3.3 billion Cassini mission, funded by NASA and the European and Italian space agencies, was launched in 1997. It is managed by NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory in Pasadena.
