00:00On this day in space.
00:03On December 31, 2004, NASA's Cassini spacecraft flew by Iapetus, Saturn's largest moon.
00:09Iapetus was discovered by the Italian astronomer Giovanni Cassini in 1671.
00:15NASA's Cassini craft flew by the moon multiple times while it was in orbit around Saturn.
00:20This was the first close flyby of Iapetus, and Cassini came within 77,000 miles of its surface.
00:26NASA's Deep Space Network received the first data from Cassini's flyby on New Year's Eve at 1147 p.m. Pacific Time.
00:33The Cassini orbiter captured incredible close-up images of Iapetus.
00:37The images revealed that one hemisphere is as dark as coal, but the other is much brighter.
00:42This earned it the nickname the Yin Yang Moon.
00:45Cassini also discovered a huge ridge that runs along the equator, which earned it a second nickname, the Walnut Moon.
00:51And that's what happened on this day in space.
