See it on NASA's siteIn 2004, the Cassini spacecraft approached Saturn, recording thousands of images during its journey and hundreds of thousands more after entering orbit. Some of these early images have been digitally enhanced and compiled into an inspiring video. This video is part of a larger IMAX movie project called "In Saturn's Rings." It shows Saturn growing larger and larger as the spacecraft draws near.
