On the Left I show the orbit of Cassini as it used gravity assists to adjust its orbit over the 13 years it's been at Saturn. On the right a selection of photos taken during the mission, roughly synchronized to the location in the orbit on the left.

All images and data produced by the Cassini mission, NASA & JPL
