The views are some of the closest-ever images of the outer parts of the main rings, giving scientists an eagerly awaited opportunity to observe features with names like "straw" and "propellers." Although Cassini saw these features earlier in the mission, the spacecraft’s current, special orbits are now providing opportunities to see them in greater detail. The new images resolve details as small as 0.3 miles (550 meters), which is on the scale of Earth's tallest buildings


I searched for this news on ATS but was a little shocked not to see anything about it so have a look and enjoy the new pictures which look amazing.
If i had a chance of visiting any planet, Saturn would be it.
Enjoy
