An amazing mission, certainly one of the most successful spacecraft ever. A very complicated and ambitious mission, Cassini performed almost exactly as scientists had planned from launch to its end in the atmosphere of Saturn almost 20 years later . So many highlights - the rings, the lightning storms on Saturn, the hexagon at Saturn’s North Pole, the geysers of Enceladus, the Moon Iapetus with its mountain ridge and dark and bright sides, the sponge looking Moon Hyperion, the flying saucer shaped moons Pan and Atlas, the ice cliffs of Dione, the ice in the craters of the far out moon Phoebe, a ring of dust around Saturn far out from the planet, the hydrocarbon lakes and seas of Titan, the Huygens landing on Titan and so on.
One can only wish humanity can manage its affairs and problems on Earth as well as it does exploring the enormous diversity of the Solar System, Cassini being a perfect example of exploration at its best.

I was saddened by the demise of the Cassini craft, but thankful for the valuable info it relayed back to earth. Thank you Cassini for being brave and showing us just how much we are still missing within our knowledge of our solar system, let alone the universe. RIP Cassini, your contribution to science will be studied for the next few years. Hopefully, before humanity’s wars and irresponsibility with this planet, our home Earth, becomes another barren world such as Mars.
