It’s name is Cassini. I think it is landing on one of Saturn’s moons, Titan. Here is an article about it, in case anyone cares:

I have to admit that when I first read this post I thought you were asking about the Mars crafts. I was ready to type out this sarcastic reply when I reread and saw Saturn.

Pictures: http://forums.webrats.com/showthrea...ighlight=saturn They can't really land a spacecraft on Saturn since it's not exactly a solid planet. What we see, and what we get are two different things. We are seeing a slolid sphere, but it's actually a sphere of gasses built up so thickly, we see it as solid from this distance.

Its cool to be able to see planets with the unaided eye!
