New Photos of SaturnSee the new breathtaking photo of Saturn, with Earth, as well as some other great imagery of the gas planet with images dating back to 2005. See gallery
NASA's Cassini-Huygens spacecraft — in service since 1997 and in orbit around the ringed giant since 2004 — took pictures of Saturn and its rings during a solar eclipse on July 19. It acquired a panoramic mosaic of the Saturn system that allows scientists to see details in the rings and throughout the system as they are backlit by the sun. This mosaic marks the third time Earth has been imaged from the outer solar system. It is the second time it has been imaged by Cassini from Saturn's orbit.
