NASA's Cassini spacecraft's latest flyby of Enceladus, in orbit of Saturn, was its lowest pass yet of the moon's gushing south poles. New data is being analyzed, adding to the idea that this moon may even be capable of harbouring life.

NASA displayed new raw, unedited images of Saturn's moon Rhea, captured by the Cassini spacecraft on a close-approach of 42,000 kilometers (26,000 miles), a relatively distant pass suitable for geologic mapping.

NASA says its Cassini spacecraft will soon be making its closest pass over Saturn's moon Dione, and observing the atmosphere of Titan, the largest Saturnian moon. Cassini's closest approach to Dione would be about 61 miles above the surface.

Cassini has discovered that Saturn has a giant aurora at its pole, based on different physics to others on Jupiter and Earth. Speculation is doing more than science at this point, but once again the universe has come up with a puzzle.

Cassini Headlines
The Cassini spacecraft makes its lowest pass yet over the south pole of Saturn's watery moon Enceladus.
The Cassini spacecraft captures striking images from flying by three moons of Saturn, including new pictures of Enceladus's gushing geysers.
The Cassini space probe will dive into the narrow gap between Saturn's atmosphere and its innermost ring for the final leg of its mission in 2016.
The Cassini probe in orbit around Saturn captures evidence of km-sized balls of ice plunging through one of the planet's main rings - its F-ring
 Opening statements are expected Monday in a lawsuit from a scientist who alleges NASA fired him as a "team lead" on the Cassini mission exploring Saturn because he believes that a higher power must have had a hand in creation.
