Three Moments

My musical salute to NASA's Cassini spacecraft, which, for 13 years, had explored Saturn, its rings and Moons, showing us undreamt-of marvels and making major scientific discoveries. One of NASA's most successful spacecraft ever, in 2017, with its fuel exhausted, to avoid contaminating Saturn's moons, and in particular the tiny moon Enceladus which may harbour life, Cassini was steered into the atmosphere of the ringed planet, where it ended its heroic mission in a trail of debris across the blue northern skies. Farewell Cassini, and thank you.
