Saturn is a very crazy and ringed world and it is different than any other place people have seen. If you look in a small telescope, then you can see the rings of it and everything. To really understand and appreciate it, you need to visit it. Thanks to the Cassini spacecraft that is what scientists have been doing for the last few years. Through Cassini, you can study the most subtle aspects of this giant planet.
Key Takeaways:
- The NASA spacecraft Cassini was launched October 15, 1997 and landed on July 1, 2004
- Cassini was able to observe the ice layer of Saturn due to a storm and view the hexagonal storm at Saturn’s pole
- The satellite has been able to get excellent footage of Saturn’s moons, helping scientists to understand their unique features
“Cassini has showed us that Saturn’s rings are a much more dynamic place than we ever thought.”
