The Spacecraft that told us about everyone's favorite planet.

Last image of Saturn taken by the Cassini-Huygens Spacecraft

On September 15, 2017 the Cassini-Huygens Spacecraft safely plummeted into Saturn's atmosphere. For over 20 years the beloved Cassini spacecraft has relayed incredible data to scientist back on Earth. It traveled nearly 5 billion miles. It has revealed more information about Saturn then we could of hoped for. Cassini gave us a view into Saturn's spectacular rings that was never seen before. Due to Cassini, a few of Saturn's many moons may have all the components to create life. There is so much data retrieved from Cassini that it will take decades to process it all. As scientist continue to unravel the mysteries of Saturn the legacy of Cassini will live on.
