Saturn from the top

The Cassini probe, which has been orbiting Saturn for the past year and a half, continues to snap new views of the ringed planet, its rings and its satellites.

No, Saturn's rings aren't copyrighted but it may look that way as Saturn's shadow blocks a section of the rings. The overexposed planet was removed from this image.

Plus, check out the best photos of Saturn from an online vote of visitors to NASA's Web site. The Cassini-Huygens mission is a cooperative project of NASA, the European Space Agency and the Italian Space Agency.
