To Saturn and beyond: A look back at Cassini's most stunning sights
Take a look back at Cassini's most stunning sights.

NASA's Cassini mission came to an end on Friday, but the probe made more than its fair share of contributions to science during its two decades of service.

Cassini has captured the most detailed view of Saturn's famous rings to date. The spacecraft has also beamed back stunning imagery of the ringed planet's atmosphere and given scientists a better understanding of some of Saturn's 53 moons.

From color photographs to black and white imagery and false-color pictures, take a look back at some of the most mind-blowing photos the storied spacecraft has captured.
