This is a view of Saturn's north polar region, taken by Cassini's Imaging Science Subsystem (ISS) on February 26, 2013. You can see the rings in the top of this image as well as its mysterious hexagon.
This composite is made of images that were taken by Cassini's camera system, the Imaging Science Subsystem (ISS) on February 26, 2013 and received on Earth February 27, 2013. The camera was pointing toward SATURN at approximately 347,141 miles (558,670 kilometers) away, and the images were taken using the red, green and blue filters.

On the left is a true color image of Titan. The moon's north polar hood is visible in this view. The image on the right is a representation of what it would look like if you could see past Titan's atmosphere and down to its surface. The darker areas are vast hydrocarbon sand dunes and seas.
Both images were taken by Cassini's camera system, the Imaging Science Subsystem on January 1, 2014, during Cassini's Titan (T-97) Flyby: wp.me/p2WQE3-8S.
These images were taken on January 01, 2014 and received on Earth January 02, 2014. The camera was pointing toward TITAN at approximately 89,126 miles (143,435 kilometers) away, and the images were taken using the CL1, RED, BL1, CB3 and GRN filters.

On March 31, 2005, just minutes after the Cassini spacecraft's closest approach to Titan during the Titan (T-4) Flyby, Cassini viewed Saturn peeking through Titan's thick atmosphere.
Saturn's rings are seen here casting dark, dramatic shadows across the planet's northern disk (upper left).
This composite is made of images that were taken by the Cassini spacecraft's camera system, the Imaging Science Subsystem (ISS) on March 31, 2005 and received on Earth April 1, 2005. Cassini was approximately 1,200,000 km away from Saturn and 7,000 km away from Titan. The images were taken using red, green, and blue filters.

On July 19, 2013, you waved at Saturn.
The Cassini spacecraft was there to snap a photo of not only us, but the Saturn system.
Here's Cassini's view of Enceladus within Saturn's E ring on that day. (Enceladus is actually forming Saturn's E ring. More details can be found here: Tiny Icy Moon 'Feeds' Giant Saturn Ring)
These images were taken on July 19, 2013 and received on Earth July 20, 2013. The camera was pointing toward SATURN-ERING at approximately 742,417 miles (1,194,805 kilometers) away, and the images were taken using the CL1, RED, BL1 and GRN filters.
