Cassini
After traveling almost 900 million miles through outer space last Friday, NASA's Cassini spacecraft has beamed back ravishing pictures closeup shoots of Saturn with Earth in the backgound as a "pale blue dot."
On Friday, around 300 visitors gathered on the lawn of Griffith Observatory in Los Angeles to have their picture taken by the Cassini spacecraft from nearly 900 million miles away in outerspace.
For the first time ever, NASA's Cassini spacecraft recorded a gargantuan hurricane churning around Saturn's north pole on the visible-light spectrum. The hurricane stems from an enigmatic six-sided weather phenomenon known as "the hexagon."
Jupiter's mysterious "hot spots" might finally be able to be explained. A NASA scientist and his team have published a paper stating that these cloudless regions near Jupiter's equator are caused by a Rossby wave - something that exists here on Earth as well.
The Cassini spacecraft orbiting Saturn’s moon Titan has snapped a picture of the longest liquid river yet found in the solar system outside of Earth. And it’s not water.
On Titan, Saturn's moon, a Nile-like river filled with the liquid hydrocarbons ethane and methane stretches 250 miles long.
