Cassini-Huygens Reaches Saturn

Posted by Hello
The Cassini-Huygens spacecraft has penetrated the rings of Saturn and returned some spectacular photos.

3 years after Arthur C. Clarke's fictional manned mission to Jupiter, mankind has sent a spacecraft to probe the Saturn system. For the next 4 years Cassini-Huygens will orbit and investigate Saturn, as well as drop the Huygens probe onto the surface of the largest Saturn moon, Titan.

Check out NASA's Cassini-Huygens site for more info and pictures.
