Cassini has been circling around Saturn for 13 years
On the icy moon Enceladus it discovered...
an ocean of water hidden beneath the surface
eight times as deep as the oceans on Earth.
Cassini's chemical analysis of the water...
suggests conditions could be right for micro-organisms to live there.
While visiting Saturn's largest moon
which is the size of the planet Mercury
Cassini flew over seas and lakes of methane
and discovered they are up to 170 metres deep.
On Saturn itself, above the north pole
Cassini took photos of a hexagonal hurricane 32,000km across.
Scientists have puzzled over how this giant storm spins.
Cassini measured its winds at a staggering 330mph
Four times as strong as a hurricane on Earth!
Back out on the edge of one of Saturn's rings
among the clouds of ice particles
Cassini even captured the birth of a possible new moon.
It's been named Peggy and is just 1km wide.
Finally, running out of fuel,
Cassini was flown directly towards the planet
until it burnt up in Saturn's atmosphere.
