NASA’s 20-year Cassini Spacecraft mission is finally coming to an end. During those years Cassini has done a spectacular job gathering data from one of the massive gas giants in our solar system. Cassini has also captured somebreathtaking views of Saturn and its moons. Now according to NASA, on Sunday, the spacecraft officially started the last leg of its mission, which will ultimately take it so close to Saturn that the planet’s gravity will bring it down and burn it to pieces.
