Post Reply New Topic

NASA plans to have the Cassini space probe burn up in the atmosphere of Saturn on September 15th of 2017 after it's 20 year mission, and it is starting it's final dives through the space between Saturn and it's rings today.

The probe has helped us learn a lot about Saturn and it has taken some very beautiful photos.


This is one of the famous pale blue dot images that Carl Sagan gave his famous speech about, the tiny dot that can be seen in the upper left through the rings is Earth.









Goodbye Cassini.

One more week until Cassini makes it's final dive into Saturn.

The probe has dived yesterday. Goodbye Cassini, this was a impressive travel.
