OTD in space - December 31: Cassini spacecraft flies by Iapetus
On Dec. 31, 2004, NASA’s Cassini spacecraft flew by Iapetus, Saturn’s third largest moon. Iapetus was discovered by the Italian astronomer Giovanni Cassini in 1671. NASA’s Cassini craft flew by the moon multiple times while it was in orbit around Saturn. This was the first close flyby of Iapetus, and Cassini came within 77,000 miles of ...

20 years ago today, ESA's Huygens probe gave us jaw-dropping views of the surface of Saturn's hazy moon, Titan, as it became the first probe to land on a world in the outer solar system. Descending through the thick yellow atmosphere for about three hours, it revealed surprisingly Earth-like landforms. ▶️ Extract of video by ESA/NASA/JPL/University of Arizona built from Huygens probe data.

Saturn has a moon that literally shouldn’t exist. Iapetus has one side pitch-black, the other ice-white… a massive equatorial ridge so tall it looks like a walnut… and it orbits at a weird tilt, far from Saturn’s other moons. NASA says ‘natural processes’ — but nothing about this moon is normal. Ancient object? Artificial structure? Or something we’re not supposed to notice? You decide. 🌑🪐 #Iapetus #SpaceMysteries #CosmicConspiracy #HiddenHistory #NASA
