The exhibit included over 50 spectacular photographs captured by NASA's Cassini orbiter and the European Space Agency's Huygens lander and was also exibited at the American Museum of Natural History and the Smithsonian Air & Space Museum. The exhibition features dramatic up-close photographs of the ringed planet and it's multitude of moons, ranging from small individual images to large mosaics, sent over half a billion miles by the Cassini spacecraft to Earth. The exhibition was guest co-curated by Joseph Burns, Professor of Astronomy at Cornell University.
