ohstarstuff:“Pale Blue Dot 2.0” came in the form of this humbling image captured by Cassini as it orbited Saturn in 2013. Tomorrow, after 13 years of orbiting Saturn and making groundbreaking discoveries, Cassini will take a plunge into the planet’s atmosphere, where incredibly high temperatures will melt and break apart the probe. Cassini took seven years to travel nearly 2.2 billion miles to reach Saturn. But once it arrived, it started taking some breathtaking pictures of the planet, its rings, and many moons. -- source link
