Saturn: The Ring World

Ride along on the Cassini-Huygens Mission to Saturn.  After nearly seven years and two billion miles in transit, the spacecraft Cassini is currently exploring Saturn.  The Huygens probe, carried by Cassini,  has landed on the surface of Titan and sent back the first-ever images of Saturn's largest moon.   Sit back and enjoy a close-up view of one of the most intriguing planets in the solar system -- a world of unparalleled beauty and the undisputed "Lord of the Rings" -- Saturn.  Narrated by Star Trek Enterprise actor John Billingsley, produced by NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory, edited by the Houston Museum of Natural Science.  

 

Undiscovered Worlds

Are we alone in the universe?  With new technology, hundreds of planets have now been discovered orbiting stars beyond our Sun. But is there a possibility of finding an Earth-like world with life.  What does this mean?  How will this change our view of the universe?
