With this false-color view, Cassini presents the closest look yet at Saturn’s small moon Epimetheus (epp-ee-MEE-thee-uss). The color of Epimetheus in this view appears to vary in a non-uniform way ...
Cassini’s camera was pointing toward Epimetheus and the image was taken using the CL1 and CL2 filters. This image has not been validated or calibrated. A validated/calibrated image will be archived ...
Life is hard for a little moon. Epimetheus, seen here with Saturn in the background, is lumpy and misshapen, thanks in part to its size and formation process. Epimetheus did not form with all of those ...
This zoomed-in view of Saturn's moon Epimetheus, one of the highest resolutions ever taken, shows a surface covered in craters, vivid reminders of the hazards of space. Epimetheus (70 miles or 113 ...
From 34 degrees above Saturn’s equatorial plane, Cassini gazed down at Saturn’s moon Epimetheus. The region seen here includes territory farther north and east than that imaged in March 2005. The two ...
An image of Saturn's small moon, Epimetheus (epp-ee-MEE-thee-uss), was captured by the Cassini spacecraft in the closest view ever taken of the pockmarked body. Epimetheus is irregularly shaped and ...
Stephen has degrees in science (Physics major) and arts (English Literature and the History and Philosophy of Science), as well as a Graduate Diploma in Science Communication. Stephen has degrees in ...
Cassini continues making loop-de-loops around Saturn, returning tens of thousands of way cool pictures. Like this one: From 1.3 million kilometers (800,000 miles) away – 3 times as far as the Moon is ...
image: Epimetheus (116 kilometers, 72 miles across) is seen here from just beneath the ring plane, along with Saturn's intriguing F ring. The bright, knotted core of the F ring is flanked on both ...
The Swiss-cheese-like surface of Saturn’s small moon Epimetheus is revealed in an image captured by the Cassini spacecraft from a distance of 46,000 miles. The many large, softened craters on the moon ...
