Cassini – Huygens is a robotic space mission mission co-operated by NASA / ESA / ASI with the task of studying Saturn and its natural satellites.
Cassini is running out of fuel. When the fuel runs out, scientists won't be able to control Cassini in the right way.
According to international rules for planetary protection, people must not do anything that would harm these celestial bodies.
Cassini sent back to Earth the final images of Saturn before committing suicide this afternoon.
Few hours before plunging into Saturn's atmosphere and burning, the last Cassini was sent back to Earth.
