Hello! Earth is waving at you

This image is assembled from 1400 people waving at the Cassini spacecraft, which has been in orbit around Saturn since 2004. On July 19, the orbiter turned back and snapped a photo of the home planet it would never see again. NASA thought it was only fair that we wave back. Ref. Source 2

Cassini reveals strange shape of Saturn's moon Pan

New images of Saturn's tiny moon, Pan, were taken on March 7, 2017, by NASA's Cassini spacecraft. These images are the closest images ever taken of Pan and will help to characterize its shape and geology. Ref. Source 8k.

I find it interesting the stuff we are finding out about Saturn, its rings and its moons from this spacecraft. Liquid lakes on the moon of Titan is a interesting find. I think between some moons around Jupiter and Saturn can be used to support human life.

I've heard that some of the gas giants in this solar system are almost solar systems in themselves, especially Jupiter. All it would take is a spark and Jupiter could be a small sun with orbiting planets.

Cassini Spacecraft & Saturn

Cassini says goodbye to a true Titan. Mere weeks away from its dramatic, mission-ending plunge into Saturn, NASA's Cassini spacecraft has a hectic schedule, orbiting the planet every week in its Grand Finale. On a few orbits, Saturn's largest moon, Titan, has been near enough to tweak Cassini's orbit, causing the spacecraft to approach Saturn a bit closer or a bit farther away. A couple of those distant passes even pushed Cassini into the inner fringes of Saturn's rings. Source 1l.
