Cassini Approaches Saturn
In 2002, the Cassini spacecraft, launched in 1997, was still approaching Saturn. It took several images during an engineering test, which were combined into this color composite. You can see Saturn's rings and cloud tops, with Titan, its largest moon, appearing as a speck at the top.
