Sve dok američka svemirska sonda Kasini nije stigla do orbite Saturna od 2004. godine, "Zemljani" nisu imali priliku da vide tu planetu izbliza. U međuvremenu Kasini je napravio 453,000 snimaka ne samo Saturna, već i krugova i mesece te gigantske gasovite planete. Poslednji snimci stižu samo dan pre nego što Kasini (15. septembra) ne bude izgoreo na Saturnovom nebu i time veličanstveno završi vrlo plodnu naučnu misiju.

This Feb. 17, 2005 image made available by NASA shows plumes of water ice and vapor from the south polar region of Saturn's moon Enceladus. The activity is understood to originate from the moon's subsurface ocean of salty liquid water, which is venting into space.

This series of images from NASA’s Cassini spacecraft shows the development of the largest storm seen on the planet since 1990. These true-color and composite near-true-color views chronicle the storm from its start in late 2010 through mid-2011, showing how the distinct head of the storm quickly grew large but eventually became engulfed by the storm’s tail.
