- Beneath the Haze (Released 11 August 2008)
Swirling clouds drift like phantoms in Saturn's murky depths. - Reshaping the Craters (Released 12 August 2008)
Craters on Enceladus tend to be modified by a couple of different processes that are visible in this view. - Scattered Sunshine (Released 13 August 2008)
Saturn's icy rings shine in scattered sunlight in this view, which looks toward the unilluminated northern side of the rings from about 15 degrees above the ringplane. - Profile of Janus (Released 14 August 2008)
This shadowy scene is one of the Cassini spacecraft's closest views of Saturn's moon Janus. - F Ring Channels (Released 15 August 2008)
A train of diagonal channels in Saturn's F ring follows behind the moon Prometheus. Each of these features was created during a previous close approach of Prometheus to the ring.
