尽管NASA的卡西尼土星探索计划的动机是科学性的，这颗星球的魅力仍有一部分来自于其为世人所公认的美。
卡西尼号的镜头所捕捉的图像在送回地球后很快就直接在网络上公布，任何人都可以获得并欣赏。因此，在它的整个旅程中，也形成了一个专门的空间探索爱好者群体，他们彼此分享和交流卡西尼号的图像，通常会利用后期处理的方式创造出属于自己的壮观景象。
来自加州帕萨迪纳市（Pasadena）NASA喷气推进实验室（Jet Propulsion Laboratory）的卡西尼计划科学家Linda Spilker说：“卡西尼号的图像启发人们自主地利用这些照片，创作出如此美好的作品，我们为此感到非常高兴和满足。感受到公众对于卡西尼的爱，这对于我们来说的确是非常奇妙的体验。而作为这一计划的成员，我们对关注计划的大众怀有同样的情感。”

卡西尼灵感行动（Cassini Inspires）
为了赞美（celebrate）卡西尼号对土星的探索所激发的好奇心和奇思妙想（curiosity and wonder），卡西尼计划正在举办一项活动，活动将在该计划于今年9月的完结期间一直持续。
这项名为“卡西尼灵感”的活动邀请公众分享他们被土星所激发灵感而创作的各种媒介形式的原创艺术（包括绘画、音乐、诗歌、小说、录像或者任何可以通过网络分享的形式）。想要参加的艺术家可以自行选择某个社交媒介平台上传他们的作品，同时标记#CassiniInspires。更多信息请访问以下网站：

自1997年发射升空以来，卡西尼号一直在环绕土星系统，2004年开始对土星、土星环、土星卫星以及广阔磁场的近距离考察。迄今，卡西尼号已经取得了多次重大发现，包括土卫二上的全球海洋，以及该卫星上可能存在水热活动的迹象，还有另一颗卫星土卫六上可能存在甲烷海洋。
卡西尼计划正处在其倒数第二期，目前每周都在擦过土星环，从主要的土星环的外部逐渐潜入。4月，这架飞船将开始它的告别演出，纵身投入土星环之间的环缝并最终在9月15日完成其扎入土星的宿命一跳。
卡西尼—惠更斯计划（The Cassini-Huygens mission）是NASA、ESA（欧洲太空总署European Space Agency）、意大利航天局（the Italian Space Agency）共同参与的一项合作项目。帕萨迪纳加州理工学院（Caltech in Pasadena）的分支部门：NASA喷气推进实验室代表位于华盛顿的NASA科学计划董事会主持这一计划，该实验室（JPL）设计、开发和组装了卡西尼号轨道飞行器。

A Valentine: From Cassini with Love
Saturn mission invites public to share artistic creations with #CassiniInspires.
Although the motivation behind NASA's Cassini mission to Saturn was scientific, part of the planet's allure has long been in its undeniable physical beauty.
Since Cassini arrived at Saturn in 2004, dramatic views from the spacecraft's imaging cameras -- and other sensors that observe in infrared, ultraviolet and radio frequencies -- have revealed the ringed planet and its moons in unprecedented detail for scientists to study.
Images taken by Cassini's cameras are published directly to the web shortly after they're received from the spacecraft, making them available for anyone to peruse and enjoy. And thus, throughout the journey, a dedicated community of space exploration enthusiasts has ridden along, sharing and discussing Cassini's images, often processing them to create their own spectacular scenes.
"We're so gratified that Cassini's images have inspired people to work with the pictures themselves to produce such beautiful creations," said Linda Spilker, Cassini project scientist at NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory, Pasadena, California. "It's been truly wonderful for us to feel the love for Cassini from the public. The feeling from those of us on the mission is mutual.
Cassini Inspires
To celebrate the many ways Cassini's exploration of Saturn has sparked curiosity and wonder, the mission is launching a campaign planned to continue through the mission's dramatic conclusion in September.
The activity, called "Cassini Inspires" invites members of the public to share their original Saturn-inspired artistic creations in a variety of different media (including painting, music, poetry, fiction, video or any format that can be shared online). To participate, artists post their creations on the social media platform of their choice, and tag them #CassiniInspires. For more information, visit:

Launched in 1997, Cassini has been touring the Saturn system since arriving in 2004 for an up-close study of the planet, its rings and moons, and its vast magnetosphere. Cassini has made numerous dramatic discoveries, including a global ocean with indications of hydrothermal activity within the moon Enceladus, and liquid methane seas on another moon, Titan.
The mission is in its penultimate phase, performing weekly ring-grazing dives just past the outer edge of Saturn's main rings. In April, the spacecraft will begin its Grand Finale, plunging through the gap between the rings and the planet itself, leading up to a fateful plunge into Saturn on September 15.
The Cassini-Huygens mission is a cooperative project of NASA, ESA (European Space Agency) and the Italian Space Agency. NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory, a division of Caltech in Pasadena, manages the mission for NASA's Science Mission Directorate, Washington. JPL designed, developed and assembled the Cassini orbiter.
