The Cassini spacecraft has been in orbit around Saturn for 12 years, acquiring tens of thousands of images, many of them as jaw-droppingly beautiful as they are scientifically amazing. It has discovered small moons, jets of water vapor emerging from Enceladus, hydrocarbon dunes and lakes on Titan, and dozens of other surprising phenomena. Dr. John Weiss, assistant professor of physics at St. Martin's University, was lucky enough to work on Cassini's imaging team as studying the rings and helping to plan observations. He'll take us on a tour of some of his favorite discoveries and vistas from the mission so far, visiting the major landmarks in the Saturn system along the way.
