Cassini's Approach to Iapetus
From March 26 - April 1, 2015, the Cassini spacecraft made one of the closest approaches to Iapetus during the entire Solstice Mission. More details at the Cassini Imaging Central Laboratory for Operations.
This animation is made of images that were taken by Cassini's camera system, the Imaging Science Subsystem (ISS) on March 26 - April 1, 2015. The camera was pointing toward IAPETUS, and the images were taken using the infrared, green, and ultraviolet filters.
