Kronos is a concept mission to Saturn.It is aimed at detailed study of the chemical composition of Saturn's atmosphere, gravity and magnetic fields. The proposal consists of the solar powered carrier spacecraft, two atmospheric probes and (possibly) two small probes for the close-up imaging of the Saturnian rings.
Cassini–Huygens (/ k ə ˈ s iː n i ˈ h ɔɪ ɡ ən z / kə-SEE-nee HOY-gənz), commonly called Cassini, was a space-research mission by NASA, the European Space Agency (ESA), and the Italian Space Agency (ASI) to send a space probe to study the planet Saturn and its system, including its rings and natural satellites.
HD 240429 (nicknamed Krios) and HD 240430 (Kronos) is a wide binary star system in the constellation of Cassiopeia. Both components of the system are yellow G-type main-sequence stars . [ 3 ] HD 240430 is a Sun-like star in appearance, but it seems to have eaten its own planets, for which it is given the nickname Kronos , after the Greek god ...
Huygens was a robotic space probe that landed on Saturn's moon Titan in 2005, part of the Cassini–Huygens mission. It was the first spacecraft to land on Titan and the farthest landing from Earth, and it gathered data on Titan's atmosphere and surface.
Sun Rings is a Kronos Quartet project comprising pre-recorded sounds from space, images from space, music for string quartet and chorus composed by Terry Riley, and visuals by Willie Williams. [1] [2] It premiered 26 October 2002 at the Hancher Auditorium, University of Iowa. [1]
Cronus was the leader of the Titans, the divine descendants of Gaia and Uranus, who overthrew his father and ruled during the Golden Age. He was castrated by his son Zeus, who imprisoned him in Tartarus, and was associated with the Roman god Saturn and the harvest festival Kronia.
Kronos is a black-and-white science fiction film from 1957, directed by Kurt Neumann and starring Jeff Morrow and Barbara Lawrence. It tells the story of a giant, flying alien machine that absorbs Earth's energy and threatens to destroy it, and how a team of scientists tries to stop it.
Low-resolution images were acquired of the planet and a few of its moons; the resolution of the images was not good enough to discern surface features. The spacecraft also studied the rings; among the discoveries were the thin F-ring and the fact that dark gaps in the rings are bright when viewed towards the Sun, or in other words, they are not ...
