A Beautiful Waltz in Outer Space |
Cassini's exploration of Saturn [VIDEO]
This compilation of footage is probably the closest we'll get to personally touring the planet Saturn - and it's just stunning. Edited by the talented Fabio di Donato, the clip sews together shots gathered by the Cassini spacecraft over the past decade, supported by a beautiful classical soundtrack. It shows - among other views - the potato-shaped moon Prometheus, a series of moon flybys, and even "sunglint" - sunlight reflected off the ice particles in the rings. Out of this world.
