Real Images From Saturn: What Cassini Actually Saw There

  • NASA’s Cassini-Huygens mission was one of the most successful missions in history. The Cassini spacecraft became the first probe to orbit Saturn while the Huygens probe was the first to land on Titan. In its more than two decades of exploration, Cassini revealed several secrets of Saturn and its moons. Some of the prominent moons studied by Cassini include Titan, Dione, Enceladus, Rhea, Hyperion, Iapetus, and Phoebe. Along with its Moons, Cassini also investigated Saturn’s polar storms, the Hexagon, and the Great White Spot.
    Cassini ended its mission in the Grand Finale by making 22 dives through the space between Saturn and its rings. In its last orbit, Cassini disintegrated in the planet’s atmosphere, becoming a part of Saturn itself.

    • @homiej8163
      @homiej8163 11 หลายเดือนก่อน

      It might be, but you wouldn’t see Saturns rings. Most orbits along the equator so you will never actually see the rings, and Titan has such a thick atmosphere that you wouldn’t even see Saturn itself.

    • @HansDunkelberg1
      @HansDunkelberg1 11 หลายเดือนก่อน

      ​@@homiej8163 The bigger moons Tethys and Mimas have orbits inclined by over a degree, as compared with Saturn's rings and equator. They both orbit _through_ the rings, which means that you should obtain grandiose, changing views of the rings, from them. Certainly, when these moons _cross_ the rings, you'll see nothing, the rings being too thin for that.

    • @HansDunkelberg1
      @HansDunkelberg1 11 หลายเดือนก่อน

      ​@@homiej8163 No, I have told you something wrong or at least rash. You _could_ see something of the rings from a moon in an orbit around Saturn between the heights of the lowest and of the highest rings, even when such a moon crosses the rings. I'm imagining that you'll recognize how Saturn dims (from one side) and after this again gets as bright as before. In the sky _around_ Saturn and on the opposite side, you'll probably -either- perceive a corresponding brightening and subsequent return of an earlier, darker hue, perhaps coming and going like a (more or less transparent) curtain and in this resembling what you see when you look to the planet. Perhaps you'll even see something reminiscent of a contrail straightly stretching through the sky.
      NASA says that Saturn's rings were but thirty to three hundred feet thick. Nevertheless, differences of their inclinations will probably have to be made responsible for the situation that you still can see the rings well, in photographs of the planet in which you look through their disk from the side. If such a dispersion is massive enough, around yourself, you could indeed be unable to see anything of the rings on crossing them. Of course, the visibility of the rings from a moon also depends on the distances and thicknesses of the passages around you.
      Generally, the rings are well visible because the pieces making them up (which have diameters of up to tens of meters) largely consist of water ice. This should ensure that you'll always have a well-perceptible, straight line looking like a contrail in your sky, at least when you are on such a moon during periods in which you can look at some of the rings from a stronger angle. The imagery does, meanwhile, suggest such a strong overall thickness of the complex of rings that you'll probably see this entire complex from inside about all the time - which suggests that you'll always have, at most, a wildly striped sky and in the end really won't ever feel that you can catch a noteworthy view of the complex.
      An aspect one should mention is that at Saturn's distance from our star, there already arrives only a dim sunlight. Visibility of things in the sky of a Saturnian moon should not be obstructed by this very much, as long as you have no light pollution around yourself; a human being can also see the stars even through the thick atmosphere of Earth!

    - 2:31: Sun's gravity didn't pull Cassini BACK to the Inner Solar System! 1st - it was still there, 2nd - Sun's gravity was pulling on it according to the same law in each point of its orbit, and actually weakest at the aphelion
    - 3:16: after Earth gravity boost Cassini DID NOT escape Sun's gravitational pull! It would mean it achieved the 3rd cosmic velocity and was on escape route from the Solar System, like New Horizons.
