Julie Kavner: Good evening, i'm Julie Kavner for NOVA. From 1977 to 1980, the Voyager space probes blessed us with our first detailed looks at Saturn and its rings. Join us as we journey to discover the revolution on Saturn, where we'll take a close look at the planet's physics and its rings. We'll also illuminate the techniques of astronomical observation, computer technology, and photography that are used to study astronomy.
