Lot Essay

Pioneer 11 was launched on April 5, 1973 and was the first human-made object to fly past Saturn. The purpose of this spacecraft was to take observations of Jupiter, specifically the polar regions and to take pictures of the Great Red Spot and Callisto. Pioneer 11 discovered Saturn’s outermost ring among many important findings, which is shown in Rick Guidice's impression.
