a milestone in space exploration
suddenly the solar system was so much
smaller a billion miles from Earth
Saturn is I think by anyone's estimation
the most strikingly beautiful planet
after a decade of amazing discoveries it
has this extraordinary green system 62
moons of great diversity the spacecraft
Cassini transforms our understanding of
Saturn look at these shadows the
particles are protruding two miles above
the ring plane it's astonishing its
largest moon a mystery hidden beneath
the hazy atmosphere when we landed on
the surface of Titan it was like being
in one universe one moment and another
universe the next
we could never have imagined the
channels the gyms lakes brain rivers
clouds but most stunning of all and
selfness a tiny in creamy this moon is
supposed to be cold and dead we didn't
expect any activity like this and
solidus has organics it has liquid water
it has all the proper chemical elements
in as an environment in which we could
easily imagine life getting started now
the spacecraft begins and its final
mission
Ksenia will die for the first time
between Uranus and the plane
we are going through an area no one has
gone through before what mysteries lie
within the spacecraft is going to allow
astronomers see inside the planet and
get an understanding about what's going
on inside we don't know what we are
going to fight as Cassini's 20 year
journey comes to a fiery end death dive
to Saturn
