Happy Launch-aversary!


The Cassini-Huygens spacecraft was launched 10 years ago. It settled into orbit around Saturn about three and a half years ago and has sent spectacular pictures back to Earth.


The Cassini orbiter has provided beautiful views of Saturn, its rings, and its many moons. It has also helped discover new moonlets which give the rings some of their structure.


The Huygens probe descended to the great moon Titan and sent back the first ever pictures of this world beneath its shroud of clouds.


Visit the NASA site for more great photos.
