The Many Moons of Saturn

"Finally, here are the views that we've waited years for," said Dr. Carolyn Porco in a NASA press release. Porco is the Cassini imaging team leader at the Space Science Institute in Boulder, Colo. These new photos are revolutionary for scientists. Porco said: "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 breathtaking, it almost gives you vertigo." (NASA/JPL/Space Science Institute)
