The Cassini space probe not only visited Saturn as part of its mission, it also revealed many of the planet’s moons in stunning detail and showed them to be interesting and unique worlds.

The 20-year mission is coming to an end later this month when the the probe makes its final destructive plunge into Saturn.

Thirteen of those years were spent orbiting the ringed planet, the second largest in our Solar System, exploring some of Saturn’s 62 moons, seven of which were discovered by Cassini.
