NASA’s Preview of the Cassini Saturn Mission Grand Finale
Cassini has been orbiting Saturn since June 2004, studying the planet, its rings and its moons. A final close flyby of Saturn’s moon Titan on April 22 will reshape the Cassini spacecraft’s orbit so that it begins its final series of 22 weekly dives through the unexplored gap between the planet and its rings. The first of these dives is planned for April 26. Following these closer-than-ever encounters with the giant planet, Cassini will make a mission-ending plunge into Saturn’s upper atmosphere on Sept. 15.

THANK YOU!!!!
Thank you for the link to NASA’s Grand Finale of the Cassini mission. Absolutely fantastic. Plus I really appreciate that two of the four speakers were women; saving the video for my grand-daughters to watch. And grand-sons as well! They, too, need to know that both women and men can do science, bitches!
