Watch NASA's Cassini spacecraft fly between Saturn and its rings

The Verge -------- NASA has just released a video that strings together an hour of images the spacecraft Cassini captured during its first plunge through the space between Saturn and its rings. The footage of the dive, which took place last week, starts over the vortex on the planet’s north pole. The spacecraft then travels south from there, getting a close-up view of Saturn’s clouds as it plummets from 45,000 miles above the atmosphere to just 4,200 miles. You can see the camera’s framing change near the end of the video. That’s because Cassini had to turn to shield itself with its antenna against the small rocks and particles that make up Saturn’s rings. To learn more click on the picture below to read the article.
