Difference between Cassini–Huygens and Saturn

Cassini–Huygens vs. Saturn

The Cassini–Huygens mission, commonly called Cassini, was a collaboration between NASA, the European Space Agency (ESA), and the Italian Space Agency (ASI) to send a probe to study the planet Saturn and its system, including its rings and natural satellites. Saturn is the sixth planet from the Sun and the second-largest in the Solar System, after Jupiter.
