NASA reveals INCREDIBLE new photos of Saturn’s mini-moons

Cassini spent 13 years in an orbit around Saturn and its final year of operation, it inserted itself between the rings, beaming data back to Earth until it went dark on September 13, 2017, 20 years after its launch.

Dr Bonnie Buratti of NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory said: ”The daring, close flybys of these odd little moons let us peer into how they interact with Saturn’s rings.

“We are seeing more evidence of how extremely active and dynamic the Saturn ring and moon system is.”

Some 4,000 scientific articles have been published about Cassini’s findings, and the well of knowledge is nowhere near dry.
