Awaited unfolding of Saturn - the ringed world [1]

Saturn is the second largest planet in our solar system. With a colourful ring system surrounding the planet, it is highly attractive. Only brief observations, using telescopes, Pioneer-11, Voyager-1 and Voyager-2 in situ recorders have been made. Comparatively impressive details of Saturn have already been obtained. A space mission named Cassini-Huygens is on its way to explore Saturn's biggest moon, Titan, which is slightly smaller than our earth.
