On Oct. 15, 1997, NASA launched the Cassini spacecraft on a mission to explore Saturn and its moons. It took almost 7 years for Cassini to reach Saturn. Another smaller spacecraft called Huygens ...

NASA's Cassini-Huygens spacecraft may have dramatically ended its 20-year mission to explore Saturn's neighborhood seven years ago, when it plunged to into the gas giant, but it is still ...

ITHACA, N.Y. – A new study of radar experiment data from the Cassini-Huygens mission to Saturn has yielded fresh insights related to the makeup and activity of the liquid hydrocarbon seas near ...

A new study of radar experiment data from the Cassini-Huygens mission to Saturn has yielded fresh insights related to the makeup and activity of the liquid hydrocarbon seas near the north pole of ...

Cassini’s mission was to investigate Saturn and its system, while Huygens’ was to explore Titan, the planet’s largest moon. The Huygens probe separated from Cassini in late December 2004.

Cassini intentionally crashed into Saturn to prevent contamination from earthly organisms, but wouldn’t Huygens pose a much greater risk, as it actually landed on Titan? The rationale dominating ...

Cassini-Huygens was an unprecedented foray into the unknown. It was not our first close-up glimpse of Saturn — the Pioneer 11, Voyager 1, and Voyager 2 probes had zipped by the planet in 1979 ...
