 So there were a few other things that we didn't get a chance to talk to you on this last episode 10.33. Jared, the long goodbye with Cassini. Tell me what's going on. So Cassini has completed its final journey through the gap between the interior of Saturn's rings and the cloud tops of Saturn's atmosphere. And it's currently heading on its way now to end its mission in the atmosphere of Saturn. Now Cassini, the spacecraft that we have at Saturn, has undoubtedly been one of humanity's greatest expeditions of exploration in terms of science knowledge that we've gained from a technical knowledge from designing the spacecraft and simply the endurance of Cassini as well. It's been in space for nearly 20 years, just a few weeks shy of 20 years. Now Cassini has traveled 7.9 billion kilometers, executed two and a half million commands, collected 635 gigabytes of data, discovered six moons at Saturn, performed 162 flybys of Saturn's moons, completed 294 orbits of the Saturnian system, taken 453,048 images. Data has been used in 3,948 published papers. It's burned its engine 360 times and it has shown that 27 countries can cooperate on a mission of incredible discovery. Now before Cassini, there were things that were considered science fiction, like a small ball of ice generating enough energy to have an ocean. That was the realm of books and films of science fiction. But images like this from Enceladus have shown us that it actually is scientific fact. The idea of a liquid cycle on a celestial body was strictly driven by water. That was until we looked at Titan with Cassini and we saw that even though the temperatures there are extremely cold on Titan, minus 180 degrees Celsius, that there's still a liquid cycle happening there. It's not happening with water, it's happening with methane and then we look at the rings which were considered an old but complex structure and we now know from early results gathered by the science in these final 22 grand finale orbits that the rings are likely very young in terms of the age of things in our solar system. Just 100 million years old and they're even more complex than we can even dream up. The bittersweet part about this incredible mission that Cassini has done is that tomorrow, September 15th, 2017, it all comes to an end. When Cassini was fabricated, it wasn't known that Titan would be so close to the prebiotic chemistry that we've seen. The ingredients for life are at Titan. It's just that the energy isn't there and we didn't know that Enceladus was potentially the best place for life off of Earth present in our solar system. So because of that, because we did not have that knowledge before Cassini, the spacecraft itself wasn't built to the specifications of cleanliness that say something landing on the surface of Mars is. So in order to prevent contamination, it was decided that with what little fuel Cassini has left that it would be sent to plunge in the Saturn's atmosphere and as I mentioned earlier tomorrow, September 15th, 2017, it will do just that. We're going to have the high gain antenna of Cassini aimed at Earth and set Cassini in a mode that will constantly transmit data from its instruments back to the Earth inadvertently becoming our first atmospheric probe going into Saturn. Now from entry into Saturn's atmosphere, which Cassini will be doing at 120,000 kilometers an hour to Cassini losing control, losing contact with Earth and burning up in Saturn's atmosphere, that will be about 60 seconds from touching the top of the atmosphere to Cassini burning up. The entry should begin right around 11.54, coordinated universal time or 4.54 a.m. Pacific Daylight Time on tomorrow Friday, September 15th, 2017 and loss of signal is expected to occur 60 seconds later at 11.55, coordinated universal time, 4.55 a.m. Pacific Daylight Time, also Friday, September 15th, 2017. And probably the most poetic thing about this is that Cassini will now become a permanent part of the planet that it studied. So it spent 13 years around Saturn and now it's going to become a part of Saturn. So beautiful end to an incredible mission. Yeah, that's really beautiful. And actually if you're interested in more information about Cassini and the entire mission, you can go ahead and check out tomorrow's episode 10.15. Although if you're interested in more news and other things like that, you can look at our last week's show 10.33. We talked with Stuart Money about the history of SpaceX, which was actually a lot of fun. And you can always join us live every Saturday at 1,800 Coordinated Universal Time.
