Cassini Huygens at Saturn: 1997-2011

This movie is a montage of NASA and ESA animation sequences portraying highlights (to date) of the NASA/ESA Cassini Huygens mission to Saturn, 1997-2011. It was edited and adapted by Dr Martin Hendry of the University of Glasgow for a public lecture at Glasgow Science Centre on Satur(n)day April 30th 2011. It features the music of Gustav Holst: the movement "Saturn, the bringer of Old Age" from Holst's Planets Suite (Op 32).

The lecture is followed by the live performance of a song cycle inspired by the relationships between Saturn, its rings and its moons, composed by University of Glasgow music student Alison Eales and accompanied by the glittering stars of Glasgow Science Centre planetarium.

The movie is also designed to draw attention and credit to the "Outside In" project (www.outsideinthemovie.com) - which is developing a ground-breaking giant screen film from actual Cassini images of Saturn.
