As Cassini probe goes on its journey to its phase 3 mission or the 'ring-grazing' orbit to Saturn, it amazingly captured through its narrow-angle camera how Daphnis 'makes waves' on the Keeler Gap due to its gravitational pull
Cassini probe has been in the space for almost 20 years now, and during those times, only far away images were captured. Not until this second to the last phase wherein Cassini will be up close to capture the most intricate details of Saturn.
On December 2 and 3, NASA together with European and Italian partners was ecstatic to receive captured images of Saturn's Hexagon-shaped storm as Cassini Probe comes closer to the planet's rings. The second to the last phase of Cassini is expected to see more details and data about Saturn.
NASA's Cassini space probe is going to circulate over the polar region of Saturn & take some detailed photos of Rings when its became closer during its final approach
In a few months, Cassini has given NASA the conducive outcome of their decision to send the spacecraft closer to the huge planet, Saturn. It has not only sent wondrous video and images but has managed to observe the finest of the details on the big guy's surface. And also in the upcoming months, it aspires to bring in some relevant information for the experts.
Less than a month after scientists discovered liquid methane waves on the Saturn moon of Titan, researchers, using NASA's Cassini spacecraft, have now discovered a body of liquid water under the icy surface of Saturn's other moon Enceladus.
The Saturn moon Titan is one of the most peculiar places in the solar system as it is the only planetoid besides earth to be carrying stable bodies of liquid on its surface - although that liquid is comprised of methane and ethane.
