NASA probe shoots Saturnian dawn, completes 13 yrs in orbit
NASA's Cassini probe, first man-made object to go between Saturn and its rings, has captured a sunrise view over the ringed planet. The photo was taken at a distance of approximately 1 million km from Saturn. Launched in 1997, Cassini entered Saturn's orbit on July 1, 2004. The $3-billion mission will end in September by crashing Cassini in Saturn's atmosphere.
