NASA Releases Cassini’s Final Image Of Saturn

NASA released the final image the spacecraft Cassini clicked before ending its 20 year long epic journey in space. Cassini was on a mission to study the planet Saturn and its rings.

Cassini equipped with a wide angle camera clicked 42 red, green and blue images of the planet on the 13th of September. The frames had to be stitched by imaging scientists to get a natural color view.

This composite image shows the beauty of Saturn with its moons Prometheus, Janus, Pandora, Epimetheus, Enceladus and Mimas.

Cassini’s Deputy Imaging Team Leader at NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory, Robert West said, “Cassini’s scientific bounty has been truly spectacular, a vast array of new results leading to new insights and surprises, from the tiniest of ring particles to the opening of new landscapes on Titan and Enceladus, to the deep interior of Saturn itself.”

Cassini was launched into space in 1997 and orbited Saturn from 2004 to 2017. The mission revealed some amazing dramatic discoveries like the geological activity on Enceladus. It also discovered liquid methane seas on Titan, Saturn’s largest moon.

On the 15th of September, Cassini ended its journey by plunging into Saturn’s atmosphere. The plunge was done in an effort to avoid Cassini damaging any of Saturn’s moons.
