Over the weekend, the Cassini Imaging Team, lead by Carolyn Porco (Pop!Tech 2005) of the CICLOPS/Space Science Institute released the latest images from the Cassini spacecraft. These pictures bring a stunning view of Saturn and its rings, unlike anything seen before.
Dr. Porco writes - “Not only have we discovered a new ring, not only have we seen strikingly long tendrils of icy particles emanating from Enceladus and supplying the E ring, but we have also captured sight of planet Earth, a pale blue orb, as it wandered behind Saturn’s rings and into Cassini’s field of view.”
