The Cassini spacecraft, which is currently in high orbit around the planet Saturn, has taken some amazing photographs that have never before been seen. The photos show detailed shots of the plants distinctive ring system and both above and below the planet.
‘Sailing high above Saturn and seeing the rings spread out beneath us like a giant, copper medallion is like exploring an alien world we’ve never seen before. It just doesn’t look like the same place. It’s so utterly breath-taking, it almost gives you vertigo.’ The spacecraft will eventually return to its standard orbit parallel to the ring plane in late June.”
