Saturn's Endless Beauty

Saturn is probably the single most iconic image in all of astronomy--so iconic that it was, literally, the official Discover magazine icon for a number of years. Yet, amazingly, scientists continue to find new ways to look at the ringed planet, uncovering details never before seen by human eyes. If you follow space images, you probably saw the stunning polar view of Saturn, taken by NASA's Cassini spacecraft from a height of 935,000 miles. And that picture tells only a small part of the story.
