Dusty Wedge
The ghostly features in Saturn's B ring called spokes are making an appearance again as the Cassini spacecraft continues its tour of the Saturn system. These dusty features on the rings are often wedge-shaped, as this one is, with the inner portions of the spoke being wider than the outer portions due to electromagnetic effects on the dust particles.

'Tis the Season for Spokes
Dark spokes dance around Saturn's B ring in this series of movies comprised of images taken with Cassini's wide-angle camera.

Saturn ... Four Years On
As Saturn advances in its orbit toward equinox and the sun gradually moves northward on the planet, the motion of Saturn's ring shadows and the changing colors of its atmosphere continue to transform the face of Saturn as seen by Cassini.

A Full Sweep of Saturn's Rings
Details of Saturn's icy rings are visible in this sweeping view from Cassini of the planet's glorious ring system.

Darkness Falls on Rhea
The Cassini spacecraft's narrow-angle camera captured Saturn's moon Rhea as it gradually slipped into the planet's shadow ? an event known as ?ingress? ? on Aug. 19, 2008.

Titan Flyby: Altimetry Over Ontario Lacus
Cassini streaked past Titan on Dec. 21 at an altitude of 971 kilometers (603 miles), obtaining radar images of Titan's south polar region and a topographic profile of the dark, possibly liquid-filled area known as Ontario Lacus.
