Cassini to Saturn.

The 15th September.

The joint ESA/NASA Saturn probe has now come almost to the end of its ten year mission exploring the Moons of the second largest gas giant in our solar system, but the first to be seen with rings of dust and ice particles around it.

Cassini named after the 15th Century Italian astronomer who found it, has now entered into its final plunge into this gas giant. It is placed in the empty zone 1500 miles between the planet and its ring fields and is sending back some dramatic pictures of the cloud movements and polar activity not seen before.

In it tens years of exploration it was able to launch a probe to the surface of Titan the largest moon with an alien atmosphere and some really weird stuff going on down there, some of which continues to baffle the scientific community to this present time?

Volcanic activity with the possibility of organic life may lay below the 100 mile thick ice sheet of Encledes, which is spout hot water into space from its many canyons on its southern pole.

The 15th September will see it burn up in the Saturn atmosphere, which is highly radioactive and perhaps we will get a glimpse of conditions below the clouds?
