The Cassini mission home page is at "Cassini-Huygens: Mission to
Saturn and Titan", http://saturn.jpl.nasa.gov/home/index.cfm
Cassini has produced so many fantastic picures that it's hard to
know where to start. One good place is the Cassini "Favourite Image"
contest: http://ciclops.org/contest07.php?js=1
Alan Taylor - the same chap who made the "All Solar System
Bodies" image I recommended last week - has a selection of his
favourite Cassini images at
http://www.boston.com/bigpicture/2009/04/cassinis_continued_mission.html. He's
very fond of the weird optical effects when the rings are refracted
through the edge of Saturn's atmosphere, but they're certainly a
gorgeous collection. If that's not enough, click on the "Previously"
links to get more.
A complete up-to-date list of all of Saturn's satellites can be
found at Scott Sheppard's "The Jupiter Satellite Page",
http://www.ifa.hawaii.edu/~sheppard/satellites/
because it's subtitled "Now also the Giant Planet Satellite and Moon
Page"
The Planetary Society has excellent pages about Saturn's rings
and moons, at http://www.planetary.org/saturn/rings.html and http://www.planetary.org/saturn/moons.html
Two different views for the ages of Saturn's rings can be found
at "Science@NASA: The Real Lord of the Rings",
http://science.nasa.gov/headlines/y2002/12feb_rings.htm
and "Saturn's rings may not be as young as they look" http://www.sciencenews.org/view/generic/id/36716/title/Saturns_rings_not_as_young_as_they_look
Great silliness: The Cassini CICLOPS team have written a game, so
you can see what it's like playing golf in the differing gravity
environments of Saturn's moons. It's surprisingly easy to lose your
ball off the moon completely! http://ciclops.org/sector6/golf.php
