A ten hour day for a planet that size means it is rotating VERY rapidly, yes?
The Cassini-Huygens spacecraft returned this image of Saturn on May 16, 2004, when its imaging science subsystem narrow-angle camera was too close to fit the entire planet in its field-of-view. Culminating a nearly seven-year, 2.2 billion-mile journey through the solar system, NASA (news - web sites)'s Cassini spacecraft will fire its engine Wednesday, June 30, 2004, to slow down and allow itself to be captured by Saturn.
