This undated file photo released by JPL and NASA shows the Saturn-bound Cassini spacecraft equipped with an Italian-made radio antenna (top) and the Huygens Probe (covered in gold). The spacecraft is scheduled for launch 13 October and is a joint mission of NASA, the European Space Agency and the Italian Space Agency. The Cassini spacecraft is due to arrive in Saturn's orbit in 2004. A Florida-based public interest group said 08 October it has filed a lawsuit challenging the launch because according to the group the plutonium-fueled spacecraft poses a health and environmental risk. Cassini carries some 32 kilos (72 pounds) of plutonium, the most nuclear fuel ever launched into space. AFP PHOTO/JPL/NASA / AFP PHOTO / JPL/NASA

This Cassini spacecraft image released by NASA/JPL/Space Science Institute shows icy geysers spewing from the south polar region of Saturn's moon Enceladus. Cassini spacecraft collected science data on the mysterious geysers and recorded new images of its surface during a close flyby, NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory said March 13, 2008. The pass on March 12 brought Cassini as close as 30 miles to the surface of the moon. It went through the icy geysers at 32,000 mph (51,499kph) and an altitude of 120 miles (193kms), the lab said.

Recent Cassini images of Saturn's moon Enceladus backlit by the sun show the fountain-like sources of the fine spray of material that towers over the south polar region. This image released 28 Novemebr, 2005, was taken looking more or less broadside at the "tiger stripe" fractures observed in earlier Enceladus images. It shows discrete plumes of a variety of apparent sizes above the limb of the moon. The Cassini-Huygens mission is a cooperative project of NASA, the European Space Agency and the Italian Space Agency. AFP PHOTO/HO/NASA/JPL/GETTY OUT / AFP PHOTO / NASA/JPL / HO

In this rare image taken on July 19, 2013, the wide-angle camera on NASA's Cassini spacecraft has captured Saturn's rings and our planet Earth and its moon in the same frame. It is only one footprint in a mosaic of 33 footprints covering the entire Saturn ring system (including Saturn itself). At each footprint, images were taken in different spectral filters for a total of 323 images: some were taken for scientific purposes and some to produce a natural color mosaic. This is the only wide-angle footprint that has the Earth-moon system in it. (Photo by NASA/Handout/Corbis via Getty Images)

Világûr, 2017. szeptember 13. Az amerikai Repülésügyi és Ûrkutatási Hivatal, a NASA által közreadott, a Cassini ûrszonda által 2015. május 21-én készített felvétel a Szaturnusz Dione nevû holdjáról az óriásbolygó elõtt. Az ûrszonda 2004. július 1-jén állt pályára a Szaturnusz körül, ahonnan azóta több mint 453 ezer képet küldött a bolygóról és annak gyûrû- és holdrendszerérõl. A szonda várhatóan szeptember 15-én fejezi be küldetését, amikor több mint 120 ezer kilométeres óránkénti sebességgel csapódva a Szaturnusz gázlégkörébe megsemmisül. (MTI/EPA/NASA/JPL-Caltech)

This NASA image released June 15, 2017 was taken with the Cassini spacecraft narrow-angle camera on June 9, 2017, using a spectral filter that preferentially admits wavelengths of near-infrared light centered at 938 nanometers, as Cassini obtained the view at a distance of about 315,000 miles (507,000 kilometers) from Saturn's moon Titan. Compared to earlier in Cassini's mission, most of the surface in the moon's northern high latitudes is now illuminated by the sun. (See PIA08363 for a view of the northern hemisphere from 2007.) Summer solstice in the Saturn system occurred on May 24, 2017. NASA's Cassini spacecraft sees bright methane clouds drifting in the summer skies of Saturn's moon Titan, along with dark hydrocarbon lakes and seas clustered around the north pole.Compared to earlier in Cassini's mission, most of the surface in the moon's northern high latitudes is now illuminated by the sun.

This NASA handout image released 16 October 2006 shows a view from the Cassini spacecraft as it looks through the dense B ring toward a distant star in an image from a recent stellar occultation observation. These observations point the camera toward a star whose brightness is well known. Then, as Cassini watches the rings pass in front, the star's light fluctuates, providing information about the concentrations of ring particles within the various radial features in the rings. This view looks toward the unlit side of the rings from about 35 degrees above the ringplane. The star's image is partly saturated, causing the vertical lines that extend up and down. The image was taken in visible light with the Cassini spacecraft narrow-angle camera on 26 September, 2006 at a distance of approximately 543,000 kilometers (338,000 miles) from Saturn and at a Sun-Saturn-spacecraft, or phase, angle of 106 degrees. Image scale is about 3 kilometers (2 miles) per pixel. AFP PHOTO/NASA/JPL/SPACE SCIENCE INSTITUTE =GETTY OUT= / AFP PHOTO / NASA/JPL / HO

This NASA handout image obtained October 19, 2009 shows Saturn during an equinox captured by the robot explorer Cassini. The images comprising the mosaic, taken over about eight hours, were extensively processed before being joined together. With no enhancement, the rings would be essentially invisible in this mosaic. To improve their visibility, the dark right half of the rings has been brightened relative to the brighter left half by a factor of three, and then the whole ring system has been brightened by a factor of 20 relative to the planet. So the dark half of the rings is 60 times brighter, and the bright half 20 times brighter, than they would have appeared if the entire system, planet included, could have been captured in a single image.The images were taken on August 12, 2009, beginning about 1.25 days after exact equinox, using the red, green and blue spectral filters of the wide angle camera and were combined to create this natural color view. The images were obtained at a distance of approximately 526,000 miles from Saturn and at a Sun-Saturn-spacecraft, or phase, angle of 74 degrees. Image scale is 31 miles per pixel.

A crescent Saturn appears nestled within encircling rings in this Cassini spacecraft image provided by NASA on November 23, 2010. Clouds swirl through the atmosphere of the planet and a barely visible Prometheus orbits between the planet's main rings and its the thin F ring. Saturn's moon Prometheus appears as a speck above the rings near the middle of the image. This view looks toward the southern, unilluminated side of the rings from about 3 degrees below the ringplane.The image was taken with the Cassini spacecraft's wide-angle camera on Sept. 14, 2010, and was obtained at a distance of approximately 1.6 million miles, or 2.6 million kilometers, from Saturn and at a sun-Saturn-spacecraft, or phase, angle of 100 degrees.

This true-color simulated view of Jupiter released 30 December, 2000 by NASA is composed of four images taken by NASA's Cassini spacecraft on 07 December, 2000. To illustrate what Jupiter would have looked like if the cameras had a field-of-view large enough to capture the entire planet, the cylindrical map was projected onto a globe. Cassini is a cooperative mission of NASA, the European Space Agency and the Italian Space Agency.
