Cassini is dead

>>62450357

did they leave the camera on during decent?

So it finally took the plunge? Any interesting info out of it yet?

>>62450371
It doesn't transmit data back to earth by magic bud

>>62450376
Yes. The robot sent back information that lets us reverse gravity.

This reminds me when I was like 9 and my classmate said that Jupiter has reverse gravity, so it actually pushes things away from it
I was retarded enough to believe it, too

>>62450389
oh cool

lucky he didnt have to plunge into URANUS xxxxxxxDDDDDDDDDDDDD

Cassini's final pic

Did it fly into Saturn or was it made to crash on one of its moons?

>didn't even make it into the atmosphere before dying
What a disappointment.

>>62450357
The pilot knew it was a suicide mission from the start.

It's gonna be found 100 years later after travelling through an 8-dimensional wormhole. No need for respects.

>>62451309
Saturn. Actually the reason they crashed it was specifically to avoid it potentially crashing into one of the moons with water in them because they didn't want to contaminate them with Earth microbiology.

>>62451882
Yeah I remember plans to send a drill + submarine to Europe. Still waiting for the mission to be launched unfortunately...

>>62450389
that will be very useful for your mother

>>62451708
It did, it just didn't transmit pictures, other data was more important

>>62451708
Cassini was transmitting data in real time during its descent. I don't know what the resolution and bitrate is exactly from there but it's not uncommon for a single picture to take an hour to come back from a high resolution camera which means that you don't have much of an opportunity to get back photos from lower altitudes than some of the previous orbits.

Cassini had already been skimming the atmosphere.

Any word on what it is exactly that killed Cassini? Crushing atmospheric pressure? Burning up from friction with the atmosphere? The (((six-sided storm))) at the north pole?

>>62453055
You can't reason it out for yourself?

>>62453055
It was traveling at around 77,000mph as it entered Saturn's atmosphere and it was never designed to do an atmospheric entry.
Figure it out.

>>62451708

it actually survived 30 seconds longer than expected

>>62451708

That's what she said

>>62451999
>tfw we'll never find out if there's intelligent life in Europe
I mean, they're all so socialist that its unlikely, but there is a chance that there are thinking creatures over there

>>62450405
not if you want constant upskirts

>>62451708
>I'm too retarded to understand atmospheres start incredibly high up, before visible changes occur

Good luck Cassini. We're all counting on you.

>>62450357
Will this help Saturn emulation now?

>>62453071
>>62453085
I thought Cassanik would last longer, is all.

>>62454053
Well let me put it this way.

We don't know exactly when it broke up. We only know when we lost signal from it, which would have been when its thrusters could no longer keep the antenna pointed towards Earth.

Go in peace, Cassini!

Thank you for everything, Cassini

That signal plot. I fucking cried. That LOS man.

>>62450357
how spooks would it be if we started receiving cassini's signal from saturn again

>>62450495
My understanding of physics in 4th grade was more fun than it is now. Not more correct, but definitely more fun.

Thanks for all the wallpaper.

go back to /sci/ this board is for iphone x shitposting

Why didn't they just let it fly around indefinitely?

>>62464221
>Why didn't they just let it fly around indefinitely?
N body problems that far out are difficult to solve, and we don't want it hitting Titan or Enchilada ever.

>>62453275
>30 seconds
>longer than expected
Should have at least taken one last picture in the duration of that time.The image here >>62451215 is too far out and not close enough.

this. wanted to see if life like pic related exists on saturn
now it's going to take like 10-20 years to return to the planet

My God, it's full of stars!

Reminder that the Earth is flat and Cassina is a lie

>>62451708
It did, it just couldn't maintain communication with Earth due to entering the atmosphere at something like 70,000 mph and losing orientation relative to Earth

>>62451882
That's cool but holy fuck what Earth microbiology could have possibly survived on Cassini during it's whole years-long lifetime in space?

>>62456258
What if it started calling itself C'ini?

Good night, sweet prince. ;_;
Those pictures of Saturn's moons were nice.

what exactly is this graph?

Cassini was fake news it was shot in a studio hangar in Georgia
