When you really sit back and think about it... that shit is incredible
iusedtodream
Goodnight, Cassini.

Is that a volcano in the first pic?

I want audio of its death scream

Giovanni Cassini rejected the Copernican model of the solar system and Newton's theory of universal gravitation.

i think they should send new ships as soon as new useful gear comes out, like, cassini using 20yo materials and photo making gear
KrisPhoenix
Such a wonder of science ... and we have idiots who believe the Earth is flat.
twoSkylightsAndAFan
They sound like Monty Python villagers

Not going to lie, I had a tear in my eye watching today

Do not go gentle into that good night.

(1/2)Title is wrong. These were taken at various points. e.g. #1 is from 2011, #7 from 2014. Possible source of confusion: NASA/JPL retitled

(2/2) the entire mission site "Cassini: The Grand Finale".

Saturn looks so slutty.
rohanban10
Now that's a word you don't often associate with a planet.
bringbakfirefly
Oh she's slutty, and she knows it.
rabiesraeven
She's wearing a ring though.
bringbakfirefly
That's a ring of power, not a wedding ring.

Is the last one looking up from inside the clouds?
Comet260
Titan, yo.
ErikBilling
Titan?
IHaveAboringLifeYouThinkYoursIsMoreBoringButYoursCantBeatMine

It's its Moon Titan, the lakes/seas you see are made of hydrocarbons, liquid methane, ethane and others. They form clouds, rains and lakes.
twoSkylightsAndAFan
So beautiful and pearlescent
Nifty255
ELI5. If we just lit a rocket engine there, wouldn't the whole planet go kaboom?
StillNotYouTube
I don't know, we should try it and find out!
ocegur
To explain more, burning (the one we're used to) is a chemical reaction with (di)oxygen that generates heat. And there's no oxygen there.
mikeatike
Oxygen
ReaperCDN
People constantly forget about that.
mikeatike
They won't be forgetting about it when they are suffocating.
Shenili
I think it's one of Saturn's moons.
tattooedheathen
Looks like Titan.
SithRuleOfTwo
Those damn Vex:

Wrong place, that's Titan: aka Hive breeding ground.

Thank you for the service. RIP Cassini
humanhotplate
We have the ability to get pictures of saturn from cassini, yet I lose cell service in my house, and my wifi only works in 2 rooms.
iLynux
Exactly. US telecom is a fukken joke.
dannakala
The receiving dish on earth is 230 feet wide. If your router is that big and you're still not getting service, call your ISP
gmlovera655
Ladies and gentlemen, the Cassini has left the galaxy...

Damn it! That's beautiful!
rumandbass
I was looking at cassini's pictures while listening to the interstellar soundtrack. Had a serious "call of the void" moment.
Themurloc
Wait what happened to Cassini?? =(
elucca
End of mission. They dumped it into Saturn today as planned so it won't crash into and potentially contaminate any moons.
C137
Also so we can learn even more data, like sample icy stuff in the rings and observe Saturns magnetic field and more
Space2place
Yes it was to burn up entering the atmosphere at nearly 80,000mph ~ 128,748kph

Cassini-chan was able to end her 20-year journey today. She got to experience the object of her obsession. To see it up close. Goodnight.
NotRaiko
Looks like Destiny
pluviofile
They drove it into the atmosphere?
Evil0live
This was it's dying journey. =(
igniskonig
For the record, it's its* because you're using the possessive, not the contraction "it is".
JohnathonPizza
Fuzzgoat
Yep, allowed it to get pulled in and burn up in the atmosphere so it doesn't potentially contaminate Enceladus.
DevoKevo
Well, there goes my hopes and dreams.
BeepBoopDeepDerp
Good Lord that's a gorgeous moon. Looks swampy.
ErikBilling
Titan?
Shenili
Titan!
RushHourRocker
Go!
TheSexyMexi
Yeah its got methane lakes!
Pirsquar
One of the most likely places for life in the solar system.
DefinitelyBradsWife
You're full of shit
Pirsquar
I said 'likely'. And so did NASA: https://www.nasa.gov/topics/solarsystem/features/titan20100603.html
DefinitelyBradsWife
Shit = farts = methane
TheSexyMexi
I think Enceladus still beats it for most likely to have life.
Pirsquar
And Europa, but it's still not ruled out.
DrSparken
Enceladus is high-ish for life that would be recognisably earth-like, although there is notable doubt that we don't know if a life cycle 1/
DrSparken
with no sunlight is possible. Titan is a strange one because any life would be completely un-earthlike, but Huygens detected unusual gas 2/

Fart lakes? The moon has fart lakes ?! Best day of my life !!!!

Glad I watched that till the end!

Knew it was coming. Stayed 'til the end anyway.

Same. When I see that first earnest "Earth." slide I know what it is, but I'm gonna watch it all the way til the end at least once.
