Amazing photos taken by the Cassini apparatus

While the New Horizons interplanetary station shakes the world with unique detailed images of the planet Pluto, another NASA probe has been sending stunning photos from space to Earth for more than a decade. Launched in 1997, Cassini arrived in Saturn’s orbit in 2004 on a mission to study the planet, its rings and moons.
