Cassini Spacecraft Crosses Saturn's Ring Plane

NASA APOD
COSMIC MESSAGE

If this is Saturn, where are the rings? When Earth crosses Saturn's ring plane, the edge-on rings appear to disappear because they are confined to a plane many times thinner than a razor blade. The Cassini spacecraft, orbiting Saturn, also crosses Saturn's ring plane, offering unique perspectives of the planet.
