Saturn as seen by Cassini

The space probe Cassini is sending back simply astounding photos of Saturn, showing a view of the rings as bumpy, wavy and undulating. The Smithsonian has a photo gallery highlighting breath-taking photos of our solar system as taken by the more than 20 space probes we have sent out there over the past decade.
