This morning at around 6:00, the NASA Cassini mission came to its end as the satellite was directed to plunge into Saturn's atmosphere. It is one of the most successful space exploration projects ever, and delivered amazing pictures and data about the planet and it's moons. When you consider that it launched 20 years ago and the technology available then, its been a remarkable engineering achievement. I encourage everyone to check out the NASA website for more information about the mission, and to look at some of the photos of Saturn that it took. It's amazing stuff!
This has been a nerd alert brought to you by an amateur space enthusiast with no formal education, but who wants to look smart.
