Ring World 2 “Ring World 2” is the second NASA program about Cassini-Huygens, a joint mission of NASA and the European Space Agency (ESA). Cassini-Huygens began orbiting Saturn on July 1, 2004, and the ESA secondary probe Huygens landed on Saturn's moon Titan on January 14, 2005. The program illustrates how Cassini-Huygens traveled to Saturn, how space probes transmit data back to Earth, and features photographs of Jupiter, Saturn and its moons, including the best photographs taken of the surface of Titan. The presentation will also include the bright winter constellations and the location of Saturn in our sky.
