CASSINI

Larry Soderblom and his son Jason have worked on Cassini together for years and will watch together as the craft burns up Friday.

As Cassini prepares for its final plunge into Saturn's atmosphere, let's take a look our nine farthest scouts in the solar system and beyond.

Cassini and Titan had a goodbye kiss flyby Monday to put the craft on course for finale.

The Cassini spacecraft has been studying the Saturn system since 2004 and the mission comes to an end Sept. 15, when it will fall into the planet’s atmosphere and burn up.

Before Cassini spacecraft takes its death dive into Saturn to end its NASA mission, it took images of jets of water and organic matter rocketing out of the moon Enceladus’ south pole.

Last month Cassini took the most detailed photos of Saturn's rings that it has even captured.

As Cassini approaches its bittersweet finale, the researchers who spent decades on the mission have a mix of emotions.

Scientists have turned frequency data that NASA’s Cassini spacecraft collected from Saturn’s moons and rings into music that follows the spacecraft’s life-ending dive into the planet on Sept. 15.

Cassini is scheduled to burn up in Saturn's atmosphere, this is what its last week of exploration includes.

NASA has released a video that offers a spectacular view of Saturn's rings as seen from the gap between the planet and the rings themselves, taken by Cassini which is heading toward its final plunge.

The orbiter sailed through the outermost reaches of Saturn's atmosphere without trouble Monday in the first of five dives which will be a part of the "Grand Finale" for the 20-year mission that will end on September 15 as the spacecraft dives to its demise.

The Cassini spacecraft is nearing the end of it's nearly 20 year mission, it will begin with a dive through Saturn's atmosphere Monday.

Cassini has made yet another discovery, molecules that could support life in Titan's upper atmosphere.

Solar and lunar eclipses are visually stunning, but they also teach us a lot about the solar system and the universe.

Named after the Titan from Greek Mythology, it is the third-largest natural satellite of the gas giant and was discovered in October 1671.

The Cassini spacecraft has sent back a ton of images and data to NASA and Earth during its time in the outer solar system. Here’s a look back at some of the most amazing photos.

According to data collected by NASA’s Cassini spacecraft, the icy moon Enceladus may have changed its spin axis after colliding with a smaller asteroid-like body.

It happens once in about 15 Earth years but was observed by the Cassini spacecraft, which has been in the gas giant’s vicinity since 2004.

The rivers on Titan, Saturn’s biggest moon, flow across its landscape the way they used to on Mars before it dried up, so Titan may not be as similar to Earth as we thought.

Little moons in Saturn’s rings, called moonlets, are blasting through and kicking up material that create propeller-shaped features in the rings.

When science and art come together, it can help us envision what our universe looks like beyond the bonds of Earth’s gravity.
