We have been incredibly fortunate that the Cassini mission has been beaming these incredible pictures back to Earth for the last decade. These fantastic images of Saturn and it’s many moons have provided many insights and we have learned so much about the system. We have learnt about the seasons on Titan, the plumes being spewed from Enceladus and investigated the auroras on Saturn. Images Credits: NASA/JPL-Caltech/Space Science Institute.
