Some beautiful drawings that the children did from the Stardust Junior Astronomy Club to say Good-bye to a very special spacecraft called Cassini-Huygens.
We loved all your pictures and discoveries that you made, thank you NASA, ESA and the Italian Space Agency for making such a wonderful mission for humankind : -)
Please credit the drawings to the children, thank you, Noeleen Lowndes :-)
