Ring-Grazing Orbit No. 14

Orbit 264:

Cassini will pass within 5,000 miles (8,000 kilometers) of Saturn’s F ring during this orbit.

While in Saturn's shadow, Cassini will look at the Saturn’s rings with the sun almost directly behind, in the hopes of catching clouds of impact ejecta dust due to meteors striking the rings.

ISS will also capture its best-ever images of Saturn’s moon Pan, which orbits within and maintains the rings’ Encke gap. Taken from a distance of around 15,500 miles (25,000 kilometers), the image should be about eight times better than the best previous image of Pan.

Thank you to everyone who has stuck by the YouTube channel and to all of our admins and forum users here on the channel. They really have kept the website current while I have been busy taking care of things in my personal life. I promised that the next video would be a long one and have a LOT to look at. You can get lost in these Gigapans and I really hope that you do! I spent a lot of time stitching these together and making sure that they were the best quality that I could get them. SOL 1448 really has been a goldmine for anomaly hunters and those people who are just hobbiest. I really hope you enjoy this one and expect much more to come from the latest batches of images!
