[Images]
These raw, unprocessed images of Saturn's tiny moon, Pan, were taken on 
March 7, 2017, by NASA's Cassini spacecraft. The flyby had a close-approach 
distance of 24,572 kilometers (15,268 miles).

These images are the closest images ever taken of Pan and will help to 
characterize its shape and geology.

The Cassini-Huygens mission is a cooperative project of NASA, ESA (European 
Space Agency) and the Italian Space Agency. NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory 
in Pasadena, California, manages the mission for the agency's Science 
Mission Directorate in Washington. The Cassini imaging operations center 
is based at the Space Science Institute in Boulder, Colorado. Caltech 
in Pasadena manages JPL for NASA.
