Looking Up - 15 September 2017

--:--
Today marks the grand finale of the highly successful 20-year Cassini mission to Saturn, when the space probe enters the atmosphere to Saturn to end its days. To mark this occasion, Kechil recently interviewed South African Professor Michelle Doherty about Cassini's magnetometer, Saturn's moon Enceladus with its mighty plume of water, and about her role in the project. She touches on a future mission to Jupiter which we look forward to hearing more about in the future. For now it's farewell to Cassini.
