The mapping of France in the 18th century underwent significant transformation thanks to the efforts of the Cassini family.

Like the ancient cartographers of old, scientists working with images from NASA’s Cassini spacecraft of Saturn’s icy, airless moons have carefully crafted detailed maps that one day may guide future ...

This map is part of a group release of cylindrical and polar stereographic projections of Jupiter. For the other maps see PIA07783 and PIA07784. (Related thumbnail images available here.) These color ...

Titan’s rippled dunes are generally oriented east-west. Surprisingly, their orientation and characteristics indicate that near the surface, Titan’s winds blow toward the east instead of toward the ...

One of the instruments on board the Cassini probe has given the best picture yet of the temperature fluctuations across Saturn's famous rings as measured from the unlit side. This false-color image ...

Geysers erupt from the cracks at the south pole of Saturn’s frozen moon Enceladus in this view collected by the nuclear-powered Cassini probe as it hurtled by on Aug. 13, with the planet’s layered ...

While today's world is easily mapped thanks to satellite technology, it was a long and arduous task to draw up the first geographical maps. The first map to cover the whole of France was the Cassini ...

Saturn's largest and most densely packed ring is composed of dense clumps of particles separated by nearly empty gaps, according to new findings from NASA's Cassini spacecraft. These clumps in ...

These color maps of Jupiter were constructed from images taken by the narrow-angle camera onboard NASA’s Cassini spacecraft on Dec. 11 and 12, 2000, as the spacecraft neared Jupiter during its flyby ...
