    The solar system never stands still, and changes have happened here, too. @CassiniSaturn is now @NASASolarSystem. Why? The Cassini mission concluded in 2017, but its legacy of science and engineering — and its people — are active all across the solar system. Some examples: 1 / 5

    We’re seeing #Saturn’s rings at just the right time. Scientists estimate that this spectacular phenomenon is no more than 100 million years old—a short time during the life of the solar system—and the rings won’t last forever. Learn more: go.nasa.gov/2EzhPmb

    Two years ago today, our Cassini spacecraft entered the atmosphere of Saturn, becoming part of the planet it had explored for 13 years. This was not the end of the story.

    It's been a big week for small objects in the solar system. A billion miles past Pluto, @NASANewHorizons explored a small Kuiper Belt object for the first time, while closer to Earth, @OSIRISREx entered orbit around an asteroid. See details at solarsystem.nasa.gov

    The #Leonid #meteorshower peaks on Nov. 17. The best viewing will be after midnight your local time, once the Moon has set. In this week’s #10Things, get tips for taking great photos of meteor showers: go.nasa.gov/2nhjFh3 #Leonids #photography

    What we learn about atmospheres throughout the solar system informs our understanding of weather on Earth, and vice versa. Here are some very recent spacecraft views of the Sun, Earth, Mars and Jupiter. Check out this recent episode of #NASAScience Live: youtu.be/HJRxYavtEpA
