Program Director Robert Mitchell (2nd L) joins hands with fellow scientists after the Cassini spacecraft successfully inserted into the orbit of the planet Saturn, following the monitoring of the mission at the Jet Propulsion Laboratory in Pasadena, California on June 30, 2004. Hours after it completed a journey of nearly seven years to Saturn, the spacecraft Cassini sent its first pictures back to Earth on July 1, 2004, showing sharp edges and ripples of energy in the planet's enormous rings. The early photos, taken from the unilluminated side of the rings, were full of electronic 'noise' and only in black and white, but were still clear enough to show fine ring structures and edges sharper than might be expected, given all the particles in the rings colliding with each other.
