The following new images taken by the Imaging Science Subsystem (ISS) on the Cassini spacecraft are now available:
- Saturn's View of Titan (Released 17 November 2008)
The Cassini spacecraft looks through Titan's thick atmosphere to reveal bright and dark terrains on the Saturn-facing side of the planet's largest moon. - Over the Limb (Released 18 November 2008)
The Cassini spacecraft acquired this view of Enceladus just after the spacecraft passed within 25 kilometers (15 miles) of the surface on Oct. 9, 2008. - Maxwell's That Ends Well (Released 19 November 2008)
In the Maxwell gap within Saturn's C ring resides a narrow, eccentric ringlet of the same name. - Fore! (Released 20 November 2008)
Mimas's lit crescent has the appearance of a golf ball thanks to its heavily cratered surface. - Smokey Ring (Released 21 November 2008)
The ever-changing F ring appears as wisps of smoke in this image taken downstream of the shepherd moon, Prometheus.
All of the Cassini images are archived here.
