Cassini Closes in on Saturn
NASA APOD
COSMIC MESSAGE
The Cassini spacecraft, approaching Saturn in 2004, captured this image of the planet's rings. Scientists were looking for the mysterious spokes in Saturn's B-ring, which were first seen by Voyager 23 years earlier. These spokes, made of fine dust, were not visible in this image. Cassini would later observe their return as it settled into orbit around Saturn.
