| One of the final pictures from Cassini of the entire planet of Saturn. This picture was taken weeks before its final plunge into Saturn's atmosphere in 2017, ending its 13 year journey studying the Saturnian system (20 year+ total mission). |

| Saturn in the 2019 Summer sky. Although Saturn is small in this backyard image, look at the black gap areas between the rings and the planet. Wild to think these gaps are where Cassini dived numerous times as it studied the planet for more than a decade. Cassini took its final plunge into Saturn's atmosphere in the Grand Finale in 2017. This image taken from Pleasant Hill, CA. |
