The Cassini orbiter and its two onboard cameras were designed, developed and assembled at JPL. The Jet Propulsion Laboratory, a division of the California Institute of Technology in Pasadena, manages the mission for NASA's Science Mission Directorate, Washington. The Cassini mission is a cooperative project of NASA, ESA (the European Space Agency) and the Italian Space Agency. Atlas (19 miles, or 30 kilometers across. PT (0147 GMT), reach their peak at 27° around 9:19 pm PT (0419 GMT), and set around 1:50 am PT (0850 GMT). These images are the closest ever taken of Atlas and will help to characterize its shape and geology. In Los Angeles, the moon and Saturn will become visible around 6:47 p.m. While most eyes on Earth have been focused on the Red Planet and the eventful landing of the Curiosity Rover, other missions throughout the Solar. The flyby had a close-approach distance of about 7,000 miles (11,000 kilometers). Saturn’s tiny moon Atlas shines with the rings. The outer A ring is seen at the bottom of this view. These raw, unprocessed images of Saturns moon, Atlas, were taken on April 12, 2017, by NASAs Cassini spacecraft. Image scale is 620 feet (190 meters) per pixel.Ītlas orbits Saturn in a region called the Roche Division, between the planet's A and F rings, at the outer edge of the main ring system. The view was acquired at a distance of approximately 20,000 miles (32,000 kilometers) from Atlas and at a Sun-Atlas-spacecraft, or phase, angle of 83 degrees. The image was taken in visible light with the Cassini spacecraft narrow-angle camera. If the Moon person is on emotional autopilot, the Saturn person can be the cold bucket of ice water on the Moon person’s warm bed, like wake up it’s time to go to work That being said, as with Saturn aspects to a handful of inner planets, this combination can really be relationship glue. This view looks toward the anti-Saturn side of Atlas. The Moon’s expression is instinctive and habitual. The small moon orbits 85,544 miles (137,670 km) away from, taking about 14 hours to complete its trip around the gas giant. The view offers one of Cassini's best glimpses of Atlas, along with images seen in PIA08405. Like Pan, Saturn’s second-innermost moon, Atlas has a distinctive flying saucer shape created by a prominent equatorial ridge not seen on other small Saturnian moons. The map also shows the phases of the Moon, and all solar and lunar eclipses. Saturns moon Atlas got its flat, ravioli-like shape from the merging collision of two similar-size bodies, according to new research. NASA's Cassini spacecraft captured this view of Saturn's moon Atlas (30 kilometers, or 19 miles across), with its smooth equatorial ridge, during a moderately close flyby on Dec. Use it to locate a planet, the Moon, or the Sun and track their movements across the sky.
