Cassini Captures Ice Queen Helene
NASA's Cassini spacecraft successfully completed
its second-closest encounter with Saturn's icy
moon Helene on June 18, 2011, beaming down
raw images of the small moon. At closest approach,
Cassini flew within 4,330 miles (6,968 kilometers)
of Helene's surface. It was the second closest
approach to Helene of the entire mission.
