Crashing Into Saturn: This Cassini Mission Is the Most Epic Yet | Short Film Showcase

In this stunning animation, watch NASA's Cassini spacecraft begin the last chapter of its 20-year mission to Saturn. Diving deeper into Saturn's rings than ever before, scientists hope that the data from Cassini's final orbits will help to improve our understanding of the giant ringed planet. The probe's last act will be to plunge itself into the planet's atmosphere, where it will burn up and become part of the planet itself.

Cassini held her antennae at Earth for 21 seconds longer than we thought she could while plunging into Saturn. What a wonderful machine, gone but not forgotten!

[@silasmcgee3647]

Honestly I would be crying for these groundbreaking amazing machines before they've even been shipped onto the rocket just knowing that I'll never ever see it again but knowing it's going to be doing us a great service while it's out there in the cold dark reaches of space such as Voyager 1 which amazingly is still functioning and still talking to us

[@usamog1101]

that means that our calculations just aren't accurate

[@sankang9425]

Cassini is a he. The name cassini was named after an italian mathematician Giovanni Domenico Cassini.

[@penelopewaters4630]

I can't help but feel sorry for it. The fact that it was sent off with knowledge of its inevitable demise is so sad, and the fact that it fought to stay pointed towards Earth as it was burning up in Saturn's atmosphere is even sadder.

They show us a machine performing a mission, they humanize it, that's why they say it's "fighting back the atmosphere to keep its antennas pointed at earth".

Dislikes from human being who believe Cassini is only a fictional created in Hollywood studios.

Rest in peace, little boy. You did good.

Beautiful yet sad, such a strange mix. If I have been in this hobby much earlier, would have attempted to catch Cassini plunge haha although it is impossible. Happy to have catch a few videos of Saturn with its ring though.

[@andreagerhardlutz2858]

Cassini was the first Space mission I followed, at an age of five, and the one that pushed me on loving studying space and astronomy. This video gets me on tears everytime, thanks space Agencies for pursuing the beauty of space exploration and space science studies
