"Cassini is dead, long live Cassini!".
It flew through Saturn's rings, landed the furtherest probe from earth yet on a distant moon, tasted a foreign ocean by flying through a massive plume, found a place that might have a form of life as we know it, tested Einstein's theories again confirming it with even greater accuracy than before, sent back stunning pictures, 600+GB of data to be studied for decades to come, advanced earthly technology with cutting edge research and inspired countless to pursue the sciences.
With the destruction of Cassini it is a good time as any to promote other scientific marvels that might have missed the mainstream news especially in these seemingly dark times.
