The Cassini-Huygens mission, a joint project of NASA, the European Space Agency, and the Italian Space Agency, revolutionized our knowledge of the Saturnian system. Cassini spent 13 years orbiting Saturn, revealing stunning images of the planet, its rings, and its moons. The mission discovered evidence of a vast ocean beneath the icy shell of Saturn's moon Enceladus, making it one of the most promising places in the solar system to search for life beyond Earth. Cassini also studied the intricate structure of Saturn's rings, finding that they are not solid but are instead made up of countless small particles. The mission's findings have provided a wealth of information about the origins and evolution of the Saturnian system and have opened up new avenues of exploration for future missions.
