So this is the end, Cassini.
The NASA spacecraft, which has spent the last 13 years orbiting Saturn and shining new light (http://mashable.com/2017/02/27/saturn-hexagon-cassini-photo/?utm_campaign=Mash-Prod-RSS-Feedburner-All-Partial&utm_cid=Mash-Prod-RSS-Feedburner-All-Partial) on both that planet (http://mashable.com/2016/11/15/saturn-**rth-pole-painting-photo-nasa/?utm_campaign=Mash-Prod-RSS-Feedburner-All-Partial&utm_cid=Mash-Prod-RSS-Feedburner-All-Partial) and its moons (http://mashable.com/2015/09/09/saturn-moon-dione-cassini-photo/?utm_campaign=Mash-Prod-RSS-Feedburner-All-Partial&utm_cid=Mash-Prod-RSS-Feedburner-All-Partial), is preparing for its last hurrah (https://www.nasa.gov/press-release/nasa-s-cassini-mission-prepares-for-grand-finale-at-saturn) as it spins ever closer to its end.*
And to prepare us for the end, NASA has released the above video that simulates Cassini's last days. It's a spellbinding recap of Cassini's greatest hits and, starting at about 1:55, a preview of its grand finale.

On April 22nd, Cassini will make a close flyby of Saturn's moon Titan that will bend the spacecraft's orbit and enable it to begin its final sequence starting on April 26th. For the next five months, Cassini will make a ****** of dives between Saturn and its mighty rings, a path that will bring it closer and closer to Saturn. Read more...
