On Oct. 15, 1997, NASA launched the Cassini spacecraft on a mission to explore Saturn and its moons. It took almost 7 years for Cassini to reach Saturn. Another smaller spacecraft called Huygens ...

WASHINGTON – “Spectacular Saturn: Images From the Cassini-Huygens Mission,” an exhibition of more than 60 views of Saturn and its moons, is on display through Dec. 8 at the National Academies’ Keck ...

On the eighth anniversary of the launch of the NASA/ESA/ASI Cassini-Huygens spacecraft, the teams involved can look back at a string of remarkable discoveries. The Cassini-Huygens mission is one of ...

Tonight, the Cassini-Huygens mission will enter into orbit around Saturn after firing its main engine during a 96-minute burn. The ESA TV Service will provide live coverage of this critical operation: ...

Zigzagging kinks and knots dance around Saturn in this movie of the F ring from Cassini. From a great distance, as during Cassini’s initial approach to Saturn in mid-2004, the F ring appears as a ...

The NASA/ESA/ASI Cassini-Huygens spacecraft is due to arrive at Saturn on 1 July 2004. This will mark the end of the spacecraft's journey through the Solar System as well as the beginning of its tour ...

NASA's Cassini spacecraft ended its sojourn at Saturn on Sept. 15, with a plunge in the atmosphere of the ringed planet. The mission began in 1997 when Cassini was launched on a trip to Saturn to look ...

On Dec. 25, 2004, NASA’s Cassini spacecraft dropped a lander named Huygens at Titan, Saturn’s largest moon. Huygens was a European spacecraft that hitched a ride to the Saturn system with Cassini.

A complete and in-depth site about the Cassini orbiter and Huygens probe. Updated daily, it includes an overview of NASA’s mission in launching Cassini, the construction of the actual orbiter, as well ...

Today the NASA/ESA/ASI Cassini-Huygens spacecraft makes a fly-by of Saturn's largest moon Titan - the closest ever performed. At the time of the closest approach, which is scheduled for 18:44 CEST, ...

A jaw-dropping picture of the planet Saturn was recently released by NASA's Cassini probe orbiting the ringed giant. The black-and-white photo shows the gas giant tilted, with its iconic rings draping ...

Cutting-edge simulations show that Enceladus’ plumes are losing 20–40% less mass than earlier estimates suggested. The new models provide sharper insights into subsurface conditions that future ...
