NASA's Cassini orbiter successfully completes first ring grazing maneuver around Saturn

Cassini has made its first close dive across the plane of the rings of Saturn, passing just 91,000 kilometers above the methane clouds of the gas giant. The Cassini orbiter has made its first close dive across the plane of the rings of Saturn, passing just 91,000 kilometers above the methane clouds of the gas giant. Cassini had captured videos of moving methane clouds on Saturn and had found deep canyons on Saturn’s biggest moon, Titan. Future ring grazing orbits, however, will focus on imaging the rings of Saturn in unprecedented detail, and capturing photos of the small moons near the orbit of the spacecraft.
