2 Past Discoveries by Pioneer 11 This picture of Saturn and Titan in the upper left was taken 26 Aug 1979. Discoveries: are Saturn's F ring and a new moon. Planet's overall temperature at -180°C It emits 2.5 more energy than Jupiter. Liquid hydrogen with a core of about 10 Earth masses F-ring is the outer layer of the rings

3 This picture was taken 1 Sept 1979. It discovered two new moons (almost smacking into one of them in September 1979) and a new "F" ring. It also charted the magnetosphere, magnetic field and mapped the general structure of Saturn's interior. F-ring

4 Present Discoveries of Saturn by Cassini Earth G-ring F-ring E-ring Taken on 19 July 2013 Captured Saturn's rings and our planet Earth and its moon in the same frame. This is only the third time ever that Earth has been imaged from the outer solar system.

5 Present Discoveries of Titan by Cassini Taken 15 May 2013 First global topographic map of Saturn's moon Titan Mathematical process called splining Polar regions are "lower" than areas around the equator Add new layers to their studies of Titan's surface Where Titan's rivers flow, and where the methane rainfall is.
