Ring-Grazing Orbit No. 15

Orbit 265

Cassini will pass within 4,900 miles (7,900 kilometers) of Saturn’s F ring during this orbit.

During this orbit, Cassini’s Ultraviolet Imaging Spectrograph (UVIS) observes Saturn’s northern aurora. Cassini’s visible light camera, the Imaging Science Subsystem (ISS), again observes the unexplained red streaks on Saturn’s moon Tethys.

Ring-Grazing Orbit No. 16

Orbit 266
Cassini will pass within 4,900 miles (7,900 kilometers) of Saturn’s F ring during this orbit.

During this orbit, Cassini’s visible light camera, the Imaging Science Subsystem (ISS), observes the ring propeller Earhart at better resolution than 1 kilometer per pixel, with hopes to reveal new details of the propeller’s structure. (The larger propellers are informally named for famous aviators.)

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!
