Neat! Well, just a month shy of its 2. NASA's Cassini celebrated today by purposefully plunging to its death inside Saturn's atmosphere. Since April, Cassini has been conducting weekly "dives" between Saturn and its rings ahead of its final descent into the planet's atmosphere. At 7: 5. 5 a. m. EDT (4: 5.

PDT), the final signal was received by NASA's Deep Space Network antenna complex in Canberra, Australia. One of the coolest parts of this "grand finale," though, is that the probe sent back images and data until the very end, providing those of us on Earth with an unprecedented up- close view of Ringy Mc.

Giant. In October 1. Cassini mission—a joint project of NASA and the ESA—launched from Cape Canaveral en route to Saturn (with a few "gravity assist" fly- bys of Venus and Jupiter along the way). Cassini officially inserted itself into orbit around Ol' Hula Hoop Face in 2. Cassini, named for the 1.

Italian astronomer who first noted Saturn's rings, has provided humanity with an unprecedented view of the saturnine system, including the planet, its rings, and its many many moons (6.

The original mission officially ended in June 2. So, why did scientists purposefully end what is arguably one of humanity's greatest engineering feats? After 1. 3 years in orbit, Cassini ran low on fuel, which meant that scientists would lose the ability to navigate the vessel.

Chances are that, if simply left to the laws of physics, Cassini would circle aimlessly around Saturn and never again interact with any major celestial body. However, thanks to Cassini's insights, scientists can confirm that at least two of Saturn's moons—Enceladus and Titan—contain habitable (or at least "prebiotic") environments. While far from confirmed, there is a chance that these two moons could support some form of primordial life.

Without the ability to control Cassini, there remained a (minute, but definite) chance that the spacecraft might smack into these moons and possibly contaminate these bodies with some hardy Earth stowaways. To be on the safe side, researchers opted for a suicide mission. With the end in sight, Cassini's control team attempted a series of perilous maneuvers they would never feel free to attempt otherwise.

Godspeed, space friend; you went out like a true gangsta. In celebration of all it showed us, check out some shots below of its long journey and the team preparing for today's dive.
