Description
18 x 24 inches
In our pursuit to understand the solar system we find ourselves in, we sent an explorer on a billion mile journey to the Saturnian system. The Cassini Spacecraft sent back amazing new data and images of Saturn and it' s 62 known moons, 46 of which were unknown when Cassini left. We learned that the moon, Enceladus, may have everything it needs to support life deep in it' s global ocean, Titan has a liquid methane sea, and so much more.
In 2017, low on fuel after twenty years in space and so much information gained, Cassini took several dives between Saturn and it' s rings to learn a little more before it' s mission came to an end. To avoid possible microbial contamination of any of Saturn' s moons, Cassini dove and burned up in Saturn' s atmosphere, while sending back it' s final data.
