Lots of stuff going on this orbit!

I made a movie out of the 80 frames taken of Saturn's F-ring on February 10. The 12mb gif can be viewed on this flickr page.

There's also a relatively close (~83,000km) Enceladus flyby, which got us this incredible image:


Rev 232 - Enceladus

(This uses IR3, GRN, and UV3 images mapped onto a CLR filter image taken near closest approach on February 15)

And there's some Titan images, which I haven't even begun to go through yet.

EDIT: This image has been replaced with a PDS quality image.

Wow.

Thanks Justin - that Enceladus image is simply stunning.

Love the GIF of the F-ring too - it's a foretaste of what we can expect in the next dozen orbits or so.

It's fascinating to see Pan herald its appearance in the field of view in this GIF by pushing a storm of entrained ring material ahead of it in the Encke gap.

Cassini will be hugely missed when it bows out next year.

Two frame mosaic of Pandora, Atlas, and the rings from February 21. The original images were through the clear filter only, I've added the color using other color images of the rings and moons.

Awesome work, Justin!

I just put this view of Saturn together from last week. (More details on my Flickr page):

Just stunning Val

Thanks

Saturn with three moons.
Clockwise, from the bottom, should be Mimas, Enceladus and Dione (or Rhea, I am unsure on this).

Ridiculously beautiful work. This near-final phase of the mission is yielding some amazing views.
