Yes! We've discovered new moons around Saturn, have seen structures in the rings we hadn't seen before, and have observed features on the surfaces of Saturn's moon, including Titan, that we had never seen before. We are conducting a major exploratory expedition around Saturn with Cassini, and we are finding many new things about this very strange, very faraway place.
