Cassini Spacecraft Crashes Into Saturn

Last message from Cassini spacecraft was received by NASA scientists, which crashed into Saturn early Friday morning. Cassini spacecraft was studying Saturn from past 13 years; it was the first to orbit Saturn and was launched in 1997.

Cassini revealed the structure of Saturn's rings and, by delivering the Huygens probe to the moon Titan, executed the first landing of a spacecraft in the outer solar system. It also exposed two moons -Titan, a land of methane lakes, and Enceladus, which has jets of water streaming from its southern pole - as prime targets in the search for life beyond Earth.

But as the Cassini crushed it left more mysteries for the researchers, as the day length and magnetic field of Saturn is not known yet.
