Saturn is the jewel of the solar system. The Cassini spacecraft has
been exploring the ringed planet and its moons 2004 and it has
helped us solve many of the planet's mysteries while generating a
wealth of new questions. Cassini has observed the bizarre mountains
of Iapetus, the geysers of Enceladus, the lakes of Titan, and the
dynamic and evolving rings. On September 15 2017 the spacecraft
sent its final transmission to the Earth as it entered the
atmosphere of Saturn, ending its historic 13-year mission.
Cassini's instruments have revealed details that have never been
seen before, including the only extra-terrestrial lakes known in
the solar system, in addition they have provided unprecedented
views of the rings, moons and the planet itself. Results from
Cassini's dramatic grand finale of ring-grazing and planet-skimming
orbits are included in this expanded and updated second edition.
Written for the general audience with an emphasis on the
fundamental physics of planetary systems, The Ringed Planet is a
fascinating exploration of the Saturn system that places Saturn in
the context of the solar system as a whole. More than a journey of
discovery at Saturn, this book is also an introduction to how
planetary systems work. Beautifully illustrated, this journey of
discovery through the Saturn system explores and explains the
fundamental processes that shape the Saturn system, as well as
planets and moons in general.
