Why are parts of the image missing?
It’s hard getting data all the way from Saturn. Bad weather or antenna problems at one of the Deep Space Network stations can cause data to be lost because of trouble locking the signal. This results in gaps in the images. To overcome these problems, data for important observations is played back again at a different time. For all of the other times there is just one chance to get the data.
