Cassini-Huygens probe and Saturn, artwork C017 / 7210
Cassini-Huygens probe and Saturn, computer artwork. The joint NASA-ESA Cassini-Huygens spacecraft was launched from Earth in 1997. It consists of two components the Cassini orbiter attached to the Huygens probe. Huygens separated from Cassini on 25th December 2004, and descended to the surface of Saturns largest moon, Titan, in early 2005. As of 2013, Cassini is still orbiting Saturn and its mission has been extended to 2017

EDITORS COMMENTS
This artwork, titled "Cassini-Huygens Probe and Saturn" takes us on a visual journey through the depths of space. Created by Carlos Clarivan, it showcases the joint NASA-ESA Cassini-Huygens spacecraft that was launched from Earth in 1997. The image portrays the two components of this remarkable mission - the Cassini orbiter and the Huygens probe. Against a striking black background, we witness Huygens separating from Cassini on December 25th, 2004. It embarked on an unprecedented descent to Titan, Saturn's largest moon, early in 2005. Meanwhile, Cassini continued its orbit around Saturn with its mission extended until 2017. The level of detail in this illustration is awe-inspiring; every component meticulously depicted to convey both scientific accuracy and artistic beauty. We see Saturn's majestic rings encircling the planet as Cassini orbits above them. The technological prowess behind this endeavor is evident through the intricate antenna system connecting these components. This artwork not only celebrates human achievement but also highlights our relentless pursuit of knowledge about our solar system and beyond. It symbolizes humanity's insatiable curiosity and determination to explore uncharted territories. Carlos Clarivan's masterpiece serves as a reminder that space exploration transcends boundaries - it is a collaborative effort between nations united by their passion for discovery. This image encapsulates decades of research, innovation, and dedication by scientists and engineers working at NASA, ESA (European Space Agency), and other
