Cassini has given us a whole new view of Saturn, Titan, and other moons of this amazing and beautiful ringed world. Kevin Grazier from Cassini provides an overview of what has been learned so far from the mission and talks with Bob Mitchell, the Cassini Program Manager, and John Smith, the Cassini tour designer.

Listen to the Sounds of Titan! | The Planetary Society
The Planetary Society has teamed up with the European Space Agency and the Huygens Atmospheric Structure Instrument team to bring you the sounds recorded by the Huygens probe during its harrowing descent through Titan’s atmosphere.
This sound sample overlaps the landing, at which point all becomes much more quiet. The landing occurs as a slow fade of sound rather than a sharp "thud" because of the 2-second, or lower, resolution of the sound data, and because Delory’s sound processing algorithm is designed to smooth amplitude jumps in the acoustic sensor data.

Astronomy Cast: Cassini Mission
Aflevering van deze prachtige serie, deze keer met een overzicht van de Cassini missie van Nasa. Een missie die onderzoek doet naar Saturnus en zijn manen. Niet alleen door langs deze planeet te vliegen, zoals vorige missies wel deden, maar door in een baan rond Saturnus te gaan. Vorige week werd de persoon behandeld waar de missie naar is vernoemd, Giovanni Cassini.
