Uncharted territory...
A Cassini photo of Saturn and its rings.
NASA's Cassini spacecraft is set to make its first dive through the narrow gap between Saturn and its rings today.
The $3.26 billion spacecraft will fly through the danger zone at 76,000 mph -- 17 times faster than the fastest jet in history.
