[Friday, July 15, 2005] Saturn's shepherd moon Prometheus hovers between the A and F rings as if suspended on an invisible thread, while bright clouds drift in Saturn's atmosphere approximately 130,000 kilometers (81,000 miles) beyond.

[Friday, July 15, 2005] When Cassini gazes down at Saturn's rings with the Sun directly behind the spacecraft, an unusual phenomenon called the "opposition effect" can be seen. The effect is visible here as a bright region, near right, toward the inner edge of the A ring.

[Tuesday, July 19, 2005] The majesty of Saturn overwhelms in this image from Cassini. Saturn's moon Tethys glides past in its orbit, and the icy rings mask the frigid northern latitudes with their shadows.

[Saturday, July 23, 2005] Saturn is approaching "superior conjunction," that is, it will be almost directly behind the Sun from Earth -- thus the Cassini spacecraft, in orbit around Saturn, will not be able to send or receive transmissions normally.

[Saturday, July 23, 2005] This is Cassini's best look yet at the Trojan moon Telesto (24 kilometers, or 15 miles across), which orbits Saturn about 60 degrees ahead of the much larger Tethys (1,071 kilometers, or 665 miles across).

[Tuesday, July 26, 2005] Saturn is a source of intense radio emissions. The radio waves are closely related to the auroras near the poles of the planet. These auroras are similar to Earth's northern and southern lights. This is an audio file of Saturn's radio emissions.

[Tuesday, July 26, 2005] This wide-angle view is one of the highest resolution images yet acquired by Cassini and shows what appears to be a geologically youthful, tectonically fractured terrain.

[Tuesday, July 26, 2005] Cassini's July 14 flyby brought it within 109 miles of the surface of the icy moon. The close encounter revealed a landscape near the south pole almost entirely free of impact craters.
