Saturn as seen by Voyager 1

Saturn as seen by Voyager 1
Saturn as seen by Voyager 1 The first issue of The Planetary Report was published in December 1980. For that cover image, our cofounders chose the last picture from Voyager 1’s approach to Saturn in which the entire planet and ring system can be seen in a single frame. For our 40th anniversary issue, Björn Jónsson reprocessed the same Voyager data using modern techniques, revealing stunning new details. NASA/JPL/Björn Jónsson
