NASA's Cassini Spacecraft Snaps Amazing Image Of Saturn
The science-fiction movies have ruined the views of our neighboring planets high definition, but real life with amazing potential equal photographs are extremely rare. This is what makes the stunning view of Saturn NASA (high resolution version here) as a wonder of eye candy.
Taken by NASA's robot spacecraft Cassini, was shot captured by the dark side of Saturn as the light rays of the sun illuminated every piece of dust and debris orbiting the planet. Cassini has provided astronomers an unprecedented look at Saturn and found more information about the planet than any ship before her. The ship has so many pictures of the ringed wonder they have been made recently in a brief overview of film that looks like it was created by George Lucas, rather than an explorer space robotics.
The Cassini spacecraft was launched in 1997 and took another 7 years to reach the orbit of Saturn. The total cost of the overall objective of the ringed planet formation is an incredible $ 3260000000. However, a wealth of information that has caused - including some startling images, as above, and records the time of mass on the planet - is already one of the best investments in space exploration. Hopefully Juno - which began the trek to Jupiter in just 5 years last month - brings us some stunning images of the near Saturn.
