Cassini spacecraft team has wished every one Happy Halloween. Cassini spacecraft would be flying to the moon of Saturn, Enceladus on Nov 2, 2009 . Cassini will go deep into the moon of Saturn....
- Saturn's Approach To Equinox Reveals New Detail In Rings
Towering vertical structures in Saturn?s rings have been discerned for the first time by Cassini as the giant planet approaches equinox. Equinox defines the exact moment when the Sun is seen directly overhead at noon at a planet?s equator, and occurs...
- Cassini Finds Titan's Clouds Hang On To Summer
Cloud chasers studying Saturn's moon Titan say its clouds form and move much like those on Earth, but in a much slower, more lingering fashion. Their forecast for Titan's early autumn -- warm and wetter. Scientists with NASA's Cassini mission...
- Equinox On Saturn
About every 15 Earth years, Saturn?s experiences an equinox, much like Earth?s equinox. On Earth it occurs twice in Earth?s orbit?two times every Earth year?when the Sun lies in the Earth?s equatorial plane. As a result, the duration of day and night...

New images of Saturn by Cassini
The Cassini imaging team have released a set of never-before-seen images and movies of the Saturn system to coincide with the opening of a week-long celebration of the mission at the Royal Observatory, Greenwich.
Cassini has been orbiting Saturn since 1 July 2004 and is now in its Equinox mission phase that will see the giant planet experience equinox this August, the twice-yearly occasion when the Sun passes through the plane containing the planet's rings. For Saturn this occurs once every 15 Earth years.
