~ SOC event at the Broadbeach Library presented by Noeleen Lowndes ~
~ Wednesday 19th April 2017 ~
What a great evening it was at the Broadbeach library when over 80 very interested people came to see and hear all about the latest news from the amazing mission to Saturn by the Cassini spacecraft.
The last phase of the mission, which is called ‘The Grand Finale’, has now started and on the 15th September the mission will end spectacularly when the Cassini spacecraft will rocket into the atmosphere of Saturn and the extreme pressure will destroy the spacecraft.
Mission scientists hope to capture so much more detail during the ring plunges and as the spacecraft heads into the gaseous atmosphere of this huge planet it’s hoped many more new discoveries will be made…
After a 20 year mission in space the journey will end for this incredible robotic explorer that earthlings have made which has indeed lifted the veil of many of the mysteries at Saturn….

Cassini: Unveiling the Myth
In 2001 this stunning poster was produced in anticipation and excitement of what the mission wanted to achieve…I was sent this poster and much more by NASA’s JPL facility to help with all my SOC events over the past 15 years :-)
