The scientist talks about the beauty of Saturn.

Dr Carolyn Porco is one of the world’s leading planetary scientists and the woman responsible for bringing us awe-inspiring pictures of Saturn and its numerous moons. As she visits the UK to lecture at the Royal Observatory in Greenwich, she talks to Jane about her role in NASA’s Cassini mission to Saturn. The spacecraft made it to Saturn in 2004 after an epic 8 year voyage which is acknowledged as one of the most ambitious and successful explorations of space.
