Samenvatting
Saturn is the showpiece planet of our solar system. It may not be the largest, nor the smallest, nor even the only planet with rings.

This is a beautifully illustrated, authoritative overview of the entire history of humankind's fascination with the ringed planet, from the first low-resolution views by Galileo, Huygens, and other early observers with telescopes to the most recent discoveries by the spacecraft Cassini, which studied the planet at close range between 2004 and 2017.
