Shot during NASA’s Cassini mission to Saturn, Narrow Band refers to the thin shadow that Saturn’s rings cast on the planet… We now know that the rings, which hang moodily on the left hand side of the frame in Narrow Band, are made mostly of ice particles theorized to be chunks of a moon that got too close to the planet. The ice particles range in size from as small as marbles to as large as buses. In many places the rings are only about 30 feet thick—in comparison, they are 165 thousand miles long—resulting in the eponymous Narrow Band.

Cassini’s discoveries revealed troves of data scientists are still combing through today, 25 years after its launch. In Narrow Band, the uniquely recognizable shape of Saturn is rendered almost abstract—mysterious and shadowy, but also somehow not remote. There’s a warmth here that’s hard to deny.

The Cassini mission ended on September 15, 2017 when, to avoid contaminating any of the surrounding bodies with material from Earth, the spacecraft was plunged into the depths of the gas giant. What remains of Cassini are photographs and data points—Narrow Band offers viewers both a piece of scientific history, and a personal connection to the cosmos.
