NASA. Pioneer 11 mission. Historic photograph. The planet Sa - Lot 97
NASA. Pioneer 11 mission. Historic photograph. The planet Saturn and its moon Titan top left. The irregularities in the silhouette and shadow of the rings are due to technical anomalies in the preliminary data, later corrected. Pioneer was then 2846,000 kilometers from Saturn. The closest approach to Saturn took place on September 1, 1979, but this photograph is the one that history has recognized as historically immortalizing man's first detailed close-up view of the planet Saturn. August 1979. Later chromogenic print. Numbering on front. Label on back. 20.4 x 25.5cm with margins.
