NASA's Cassini spacecraft soared past Saturn's biggest moon for the last time on Saturday, tapping its gravity to slingshot into a series of exploratory dives inside the planet's rings, followed by a final fatal plunge into the gas giant
Jupiter's cold moon Europa has likewise long been known to have a sub-surface sea that contains more fluid water than is available on the whole planet Earth in the solar system.
At the last phase of its journey NASA spacecraft Cassini is going to peep into Titan's atmosphere. During the final encounter, it would capture detailed images of Titan's lakes and seas.
TiME is being tested on a Chilean lake to float on methane-ethane filled lakes and seas on Titan. NASA’s initiative is a step towards landing on Titan’s methane seas and finding life.
NASA's Cassini spacecraft found the trace of hydrogen on the icy moon of Saturn named, Enceladus. Southwest Research Institute (SwRI) scientists are assuming there must be several hydrothermal vents beneath the surface that can sustain life.
The final chapter in a remarkable mission of exploration and discovery, Cassini's Grand Finale is in many ways like a brand new mission. Twenty-two times, NASA's Cassini spacecraft will dive into the unexplored space between Saturn and its rings. What we learn from these ultra-close passes over the planet could be some of the most exciting revelations ever returned by the long-lived spacecraft.
NASA's Cassini spacecraft captured an image of the Saturn's North Pole. The image shows the north pole of Saturn displaying the beautiful bands in it and the swirls which are present in it.
After a plan for Europa, NASA wants to explore the Saturn's largest moon Titan to know it better. Tital has the thickest and poisonous atmosphere compared to other moons and planets.
