Saturn looms large in new image
London, England - Saturn looms large in the sharpest colour image yet taken of the planet by the approaching Cassini-Huygens spacecraft, due to arrive at the Ringed Planet on 1 July.
The image was taken when the bus-sized Cassini probe was over 56 million kilometres away from Saturn - a third of the distance between the Earth and the Sun. It is a composite of several exposures taken on 8 March and was released on Friday.
