NASA's 20-year Cassini
Spacecraft mission is finally coming to an end. During those years Cassini has
done a spectacular job gathering data from one of the massive gas giants in our
solar system. Cassini has also captured some breathtaking views of Saturn and
its moons. Now according to NASA, on Sunday, the spacecraft officially started
the last leg of its mission, which will ultimately take it so close to Saturn
that the planet's gravity will bring it down and burn it to pieces.

Yes I know that sounds a
little sad but during this Cassini will captured more pictures of Saturn.
Cassini just flew between Saturn and its rings for the first time ever and sent
us some pictures. These pictures are added in the article here. And I warn you
people to be ready for more and these upcoming pictures will be the best ever.
So keep visiting us and we will keep you updated.
