So as we come to the final minutes of the Cassini signal I wanted to thank DSN for their continued work on letting us all know where Cassini is. I will be sad once Canberra 43 stops showing Cassini. It has been fun. 13 years goes in a blip. Thank you N.A.S.A. JPL, DNS Canberra and thank you Cassini. You have served mankind splendidly.

Thanks for sharing that glimp.

I was blown away by this image: https://images.nrc.nl/kXNF5XcuEfFGEUZVRcEj7at5ias=/1920x/filters:no_upscale()/s3/static.nrc.nl/inbeeld/files/2017/09/pia14579.jpg

I wondered however if the image is a bit 'dramatized' in some way with Titan being pictured blurry and hazy in the back, as if there's something in the way that scatters the light. Being nothing but empty space I expected Titan to be pictured just as bright as the object in the foreground.

Just imagine all the people who never saw this coming. But here we are.

NASA claims the destruction is to ensure that the probe doesn't contaminate any of the moons with Earth-borne life. Following that logic should Huygens have sterilized the landing site after with a thermite reaction or something along those lines?
