Armchair Astronomer — Cassini at Saturn’s Rings

August 13 11:00AM - 12:00PM | Schumacher Hall – Via Zoom
Thu 13
Saturn is shown with its prominent rings against a star-filled background. A bright blue aurora is visible at the planet’s north pole, creating a glowing effect. The image is a space view with no foreground objects.

Ken Vanlew, retired astronomy and physics teacher, joins us via Zoom to discuss NASA’s Cassini spacecraft. It orbited Saturn from 2004 to 2017, executing 294 revolutions. Its journey revolutionized our understanding of the planet’s rings, revealing them as dynamic, active structures fed by the moon Enceladus.
