La prima "immersione" della sonda tra gli anelli del pianeta è stata un successo: iniziano ad arrivare le immagini a più alta risoluzione mai ottenute dell'atmosfera e dei poli.
N00282563.jpg was taken on 2017-06-03 17:57 (PDT) and received on Earth 2017-06-04 14:35 (PDT). The camera was pointing toward Saturn-rings, and the image was taken using the CL1 and CL2 filters. This image has not been validated or calibrated. A validated/calibrated image will be archived with the NASA Planetary Data System

The space agency won't reveal details until Monday, but they may regard a crack in Europa's ice, plumes of water, and ocean chemistry that's friendly to life.
A new study from NASA's Mars Science Laboratory/Curiosity team confirms that Mars was, billions of years ago, capable of storing water in lakes over an extended period.

Guardian head of photography says pictures from Rosetta space probe lack beauty of earlier pioneering space images
“There are painters who transform the sun to a yellow spot, but there are others who with the help of their art and their intelligence, transform a yellow spot into sun” ― Pablo Picasso Double exposure: miniature of a planet (surely not Oberon moon) from the Griffith Observatory Museum and a blurry, out of focus shot of a colored lights.

The Martian image comes after NASA’s rover drilled its eighth hole on the Red Planet
The planet Venus, which is hottest and most hellish world in our Solar System, has a long history of being observed by humans. And someday, humans may actually live there...
Venus was once considered a twin to Earth, as it's roughly the same size and is relatively close to our planet. But once astronomers looked at it seriously in the past half-century or so, a lot of contrasts emerged. The biggest one—Venus is actually a hothouse planet with a runaway greenhouse effect, making it inhospitable to life as we know it. Here are some more interesting facts about Venus.

See stunning photos of Phobos and Deimos, the small moons of Mars, as seen by spacecraft on and orbiting the Red Planet. Phobos is the largest moon of Mars, with Deimos as a smaller satellite.
In the north, Enceladus' surface appears to be about as old as any in the solar system. The south, however, is an entirely different story.
The space agency won't reveal details until Monday, but they may regard a crack in Europa's ice, plumes of water, and ocean chemistry that's friendly to life.
If you thought Saturn’s moon Enceladus couldn’t get any more bizzare — with its magnificent plumes, crazy tiger-stripe-like fissures and global subsurface salty ocean — think again. New images of this moon’s northern region just in from the Cassini spacecraft show surprising and perplexing features: a tortured surface where craters look like they are melting, … Continue reading "Cassini’s Close Flyby of Enceladus Yields Surprising, Perplexing Imagery"
