So, while this is a remaster of a very old video, I've changed so much of it that it's basically a brand new video. Enjoy!

:(

How can anyone not feel awe when presented with images of mighty Saturn?

So big, majestic and beautiful. Always was my favorite of planets.

That picture of Saturn backlit by the sun is just so gorgeous! The wonders of our universe never cease.
Thanks for the video Alex, always a pleasure to look at the Ringed Giant.

Saturn isn’t the only planet to have rings, but it definitely has the most beautiful ones 🖤🌀

Quite possibly the most beautiful picture in our Solar System, is that of a backlit Saturn featuring us as the little blue dot obscured in the dust.

The portrait of Saturn and Earth in the same shot, wow. Gets things into perspective.

[Tantejay]

I love hearing your passion, excitement and your smile in the voice. It is always a pleasure to listen. :)

Mission Director: Where's Cassini going?
Navigator: Probably headed towards that small moon
Mission Director: **sees Mimas through Cassini's instruments**
Mission Director: That's no moon 😳

I love Saturn, its just such a beautiful planet. Sending u all the best from South Africa :)

[andrewnicholas]

This was the first Planet I saw with my own two eyes. During one of the conjunctions in 2021. In extremely clear skies with no light pollution on a farm in Mississippi. Saturn has easily become my favorite Planet and sparked my interest to the cosmos.

Cassini was my favorite mission, absolutely beautiful photos and amazing information to be learned from our neighbor

[MarcoRoepers]

Very impressive. So many beautiful pictures. 11:50 is indeed very breathtaking and then you point to the earth. Just incredible.

[TestTubeBabySpy]

Dude, this is badass. Im glad I could live long enough to see actual high resolution pics of actual planets. Even Earth selfies!

[Tinil]

Damn, I am sad you didn't mention the orbital dance between Janus and Epimetheus because it is my personal favorite part of the Saturnian system. They are moons that basically share the same orbit and trade positions back and forth!

Saturn is the understated diamond of the solar system

[alliegottuso]

Beautiful and majestic Saturn. I dream the day our starships will "park" around it's orbit for us to appreciate it's beauty.

[ItsMeHammie]

We need to send 4k cameras to Saturn and the rest of the planets in our solar system. I'd be down to help fund that.

[LuziannaBoy]

Such a beautiful planet. The rings of Saturn always fascinated me so much as a kid.

[sandrapuntoefe]

What I don’t like of this video is that it is (almost) making me change my favourite planet from Jupiter to Saturn ! Other than that great video and breathtaking pictures! 🪐
