With its second to last swing by Titan the curtain has now opened on Cassini's final act. What wonders will we see in the rings?

Fascinating little moon, and congratulations to the Cassini team for spot-on pointing sequences.
Hopefully the encounter with Atlas early next month will be equally well-targeted (it's a closer flyby) and some direct comparisons can be made. It's great to get these images of Pan, as it was the last body larger than ~2km in diameter inside of Iapetus' orbit that we didn't previously have good views of. Great processing of the raws everyone btw. |
