Cassini ISS images - March 10-14, 2008

The following new images taken by the Imaging Science Subsystem (ISS) on the Cassini spacecraft are now available:
  • Shadowy Veil (Released 10 March 2008)
    Saturn's southern hemisphere is glimpsed through the gossamer veil of its rings. Ring shadows adorn the low northern latitudes.

  • Inspecting the Edge (Released 11 March 2008)
    The Cassini spacecraft stares at the Huygens Gap -- the region between Saturn's outer B ring and the ringlets of the prominent Cassini Division -- in this high-resolution view.

  • Titan Slips Away (Released 12 March 2008)
    The Cassini spacecraft captured this color portrait of Saturn and Titan only a few minutes before the haze-enshrouded moon slipped behind the planet's enormous bulk.

  • Maxwell's Namesake (Released 13 March 2008)
    The Cassini spacecraft examines the Maxwell Gap -- the large, dark division at center -- which is surrounded on either side by the broad, isolated and bright ring regions, or "plateaus," of Saturn's outer C ring.

  • Titan Approaches Saturn (Released 14 March 2008)
    Swathed in its thick blanket of atmosphere, frigid Titan approaches the brilliant limb of Saturn.
