By 30 December 2000, Cassini-Huygens made its closest approach to the planet Jupiter, sending back over 26 000 images, which contributed to major findings about Jupiter’s atmospheric circulation. On its way to Saturn, it further participated in a test of the General Theory of Relativity on 10 October 2003, when its radio waves passed close to the sun, and its frequency shift could be measured as predicted by Einstein. On 11 June 2004, Cassini-Huygens flew by Saturn’s moon Phoebe, returning the first images of that moon.
