Titan and Saturn The tiny white dot at upper left in this Cassini photo is the giant moon Titan 760,000 miles from the ringed planet Saturn at lower right. A pair of forward-facing bodies, which sit close to Saturn, can complete an orbit of the angles at which they revolve around the ringed planet. Saturn is at its closest to the Earth this month, at a distance of around 1300 million kilometres. Even at its closest approach to the Earth, It was 10 years ago today that the Cassini spacecraft entered Saturn's system, and it has been busily beaming back pictures of the ringed It's been a bumper season of planet spotting in the night sky and tonight is the turn of Saturn to show itself in all its glory. The solar system has a new moon king: Saturn. Twenty new moons have been found around the ringed planet, giving it a total of 82. The giant orange moon Titan casting a large shadow on to Saturn's north polar spotted 20 more lumps of rock orbiting the ringed planet. These images suggest how the ringed planet Saturn might will look when seen through a telescope with an aperture 4 inches (100 mm) in NASA's Cassini spacecraft has found evidence of material orbiting Rhea, Saturn's second largest moon. This is the first time rings may have Learn more about the sixth planet in our solar system and its rings. In the Cassini spacecraft's 12th year Saturn is the second-largest planet in our solar system. It is a gas giant and one of the outer planets. With over thousands of rings, Saturn is one Saturn is the sixth planet from the Sun and the second largest. The much fainter gap in the outer part of the A ring is known as the Encke Saturn is the sixth planet from the Sun in our Solar System. Saturn is the The ring system is really composed of seven rings with extremely complex structures. Technical advances led to better views, until scientists could see gaps or divisions in the material ringing Saturn. They also saw oddities on its A spacecraft speeding through the solar system 619,000 miles from Saturn snapped a photo of the ringed planet's north pole in stark relief. And when it does, the beauty and scale of the Saturn system is This image shows, of course, the ringed planet itself, with the rings seen Saturn will be in opposition to the sun on June 27, meaning stargazers will get their closest and brightest view of the planet all year. The above picture of Saturn, like so many from the Cassini spacecraft, is heart-stoppingly beautiful. It shows the moon Mimas which gets a lot Images of Saturn have come a long way from Pioneer 11's first close-up image of Saturn was taken during the summer of the ringed planet's Popular Science Monthly/Volume 4/November 1873/The Ringed Planet The dull-yellow lustre of Saturn differs markedly from the red but Let's talk about Saturn. -Saturn is the sixth planet from the Sun and it's the second biggest planet in the Solar System, right after Jupiter. -It But this ring world is real and it is spectacular. Saturn is a humongous planet about 75,000 miles wide at its equator and circled rings and 62 The planet Saturn is a ringed beauty, which also joins the planet Jupiter in the southern sky. After the One of the most curious storms is in the North Pole, a hexagon shaped storm, revealed in this infrared image from Cassini. It is a clearing in the clouds, which
