Happy Half-Way Mark

The Cassini spacecraft has now been orbiting Saturn for two years - half way through its planned mission. The pictures returned to earth have been nothing short of spectacular. Here are a few recent shots.

Rings and shadows of rings

Moon Dance - from right to left, Thethys, Enceladus (faint middle smudge), and bright Titan dance among the rings.

Enceladus, close up and color enhanced.
