What Did Cassini See During Its Historic Mission To Saturn? 1997-2017 (4K UHD) 

Never felt so much empathy for a machine but that pic of earth was priceless thanks cassini and crew

Every time I see a picture from one of our satellites aimed back at us from what ever moon or planet it's researching, I am just at a loss for words. The pale blue dot, the blue dot with a white dot near it, it just never ceases to amaze me just how small or far we are from these cosmic wonders. And how far humanity has come in terms of space exploration and research.

The most insane part of this is scientists planning its trajectory and having it use gravitational pulls from other planets/the moon to swing it around. NUTS

One of the most successful mission by humans , the journey of cassini was just extraordinary.

It's amazing how space can be so hostile, and yet beautiful at the same time.

This is one of the best videos I’ve seen on RU-vid, awesome work!

This video towards its end could make anybody emotional. The content was outstanding and the narration top class. Very nice.

Why don’t I ever hear about these events in the news?

I worked at JPL on the two cameras for Cassini. It was an interesting, challenging, and enjoyable project. Certainly pleased that it all worked so well. That wasn't always the case. So impressive to me is the navigational group that programmed the spacecraft during such a complex journey. I would like to see a video of how they did it.

Funny how a satelite sent in 1997 was sending images 1.2 billion kilometers away from saturn and i cant watch a video in 1080p.

As I sit here suffering from a broken rib, this gave me some comfort and helped take my mind off of the intense pain. This was truly beautiful

Why do the best videos,which are the most planned and thought out educational ones have like no ads but ones of youtubers who play a game have like 4 in 10 mins? Wouldn’t mind if your vids had more ads, you deserve the money

Usually I end up skipping some videos on RU-vid....but this was incredible, I was hooked. 💯🤛👍

The grand finale the legendary spacecraft burned in a blaze of glory and pride as it became 1 with the planet's atmosphere Amazing work as always man words are not enough to express my gratitude for your outstanding work❤❤

That was a really amazing video i enjoyed it very much

I cried when Cassini reached ultimate discontinuity. This made me cry again. I remember seeing all the people who had been part of this mission for so many years with tears in their eyes and pride in their smiles. Thank you for posting this video!

Makes me cry every single time I see the Grand Finale burn up sequence. Every. Single. Time.

imagine who started to work on this mission .. the end it's like lost a child

This is f*cking mind-blowing.

I have never regretted studying physics at varsity and now I see just why I love this science. This is such a well put, well researched video, so full of knowledge and spectacular pics. Thanks man for this. I was at college in Bulawayo in 2005 when we saw early pictures from that capsule. 68 light minutes away from the earth. thanks once again man

You are my favourite channel to learn about space probe missions. It's so in-depth and interesting. So many videos on other channels only scratch the surface and leave you more confused than informed. But your videos truly make me understand the whole mission fully, from launch to death. Bravo!!!

Cassini, in my view, has been the most succseful mission that humanity has flown yet. Your presentation is an excellent snapshot of that mission put together well. Thank you👍🪐🪐🪐👍

Saturn after 13 years: “Can this annoying paparazzi just ****** off ... please?!!” 😂😂

Cassini's wife on trip to Saturn: "Why are we going to Venus? Isn't that the wrong direction?" Cassini: "Trust me."

15:54-16:08 I know that isn't actual footage of Cassini spacecraft burning up, but I'm sure it would have looked something like that. That clip of it burning up kinda made me emotional...lol. I mean, we created this thing and said farewell to it in 1997 knowing it wouldn't return and yet its mission was so extraordinary and majestic. And just like that, my second week of grade 10, it ended...what an ending to such a beautiful story. To think I was born right when it first approached Saturn and started grade ten when it burned up is mind boggling to me, Idk why... So beautiful

Cassini, I salute and applaud you and everyone involved in creating you and getting you to achieve everything that was asked of you. 👍👏💖👏👍 Thank you for putting this together and sharing it with us 💖

V101 science you are the best I been waiting for this. Edit: 16 minutes long? This is your longest one lol.

Wow. That was super interesting. I feel like I've grown a bonding to Cassini. RIP,Cassini. You did good!.

True story: If you look carefully you can see me waving when the picture of earth was captured.

Space is my favorite!!!!! It’s so interesting

Cassini: $3 billion. Mars mission: $1.5 trillion. 500 Cassini missions, with all the incredible knowledge derived from them, could be launched for the cost of one Martian boondoggle.

This made me feel lucky! Thanks V101 for posting this incredible footage.

Felt weird seeing another planets I can't visit while me being here lying on my bed.

That was absolutely amazing. Thank you so much for posting it. I was in awe. Loved it

I love how you mentioned all the major accomplishments that Cassini-Huygens made. That thing was really breathtaking, and just when you mentioned the Grand Finale, I felt something in my heart. I tracked every single thing about Cassini since I discovered it a few years before the mission ended. I was so sad and proud at the same time when the spacecraft finished it's last task and then plunged into Saturn's atmosphere. Who would think that a $3.26 billion piece of metal could do such great things for us and reach our hearts? Great video, it's truly a gem for me

I've never been more emotional just by watching a planet.

Subbed! That was so interesting!! Weather on other planets and moon being shown to us from a billion miles away!! Amazing! I did feel strangely sad yet proud when Cassini burst in saturns atmosphere to be a part of the planet forever.....well done!!

Oh man... you made me cry... my uncle and his team were the last persons to put the big ass antenna on Cassini... I showed him this video. And he started shedding tears... please keep the videos going.. they are informative and have a soul..

This is one of the best channels on the topic I've come across so far! Definitely one of the best three I've found! Keep up the good work!

Thank you for metric. Shows attention to detail and great video production

Thanks for this great documentation. Considering that I am German I really appreciate your clear and calm spoken commentary in English. That made it easy to follow your implementations. I wished a lot of documentary speakers would pronounce their speech so clear and calm.

There are many things to grateful for, two of them are to be born in this era and the other one is to see this video.

Cassini gave the best insight around Saturn and its moons.

Thank you for sharing your work. Exceptional!

I’ve seen the jets of water spewing out and instantly freezing described as “cryovolcanoes” and it’s fascinating to see how the same kind of physical / geological behaviors like tectonics apply on worlds with vastly different chemistry, in this case the liquid water under the ice crust having similar properties to molten rock on earth under our solid rock crust.

That was a great video. Loved your narration.

Beautiful documentary & music. Thank you! Australia here..

Let’s go! Another amazing video, and a long one. Thanks my man!

One of THE best videos you've done. A remarkable story. Thank you for sharing it

What a remarkable journey. Thanks for sharing!👍

Awesome video as always! Science communication at its best!!

Very good video, it describe cassinie journey very well.

Thanks! My eyes got wet when Cassini entered into the atmosphere of Saturn and became its part. I felt that I lost someone loved so much. Yes, this was a giant step progressed by humankind in relation to the exploration of the outer space plus our solar system.

Thank you for this beautiful content!!

I've always was a fan of space and galaxy, this is amazing and the work made is unbelievable 🙏🏼

I really enjoyed how the narrator describes Cassini's final moments

The variety in the moons is just mesmerizing. And I love that shot of Earth and our moon.

Those were the best photos and video (of Saturn's Hexagon) I've ever seen! Truly amazing and beautiful.

I remember watching the animation of the so called Grand Finale. When the film finished with the dive into the atmosphere I had a few tears in my eyes. It was like I lost a life long friend. I downloaded that Grand Finale and maybe one day our grandchildren will watch the film, too, and also acknowledge that a life long friend can be gone in a few seconds....

Too bad we couldn't build a ring around the earth with our space junk.

This is one of my favorite channels and videos like this are why. Keep up the great work.

So glad I found your channel love the videos!

mate amazing video never have i actually bothered with a comment like this but well deserved

Best video yet ! i love ur films,u have true talent. 💫💫💫

V101 thanks for your videos when ever I get home from school I straight away watch your videos.

Ok, I didn't get the chance to watch this until now, and I just want to say, I absolutely f***ing loved it! This was so amazing, I am really fascinated by the gas giants and their moons, I can't wait to see more!

Love u n ur videos.. big love from Indonesia ❤️

Unbelievably awesome channel! I'm hooked. 👍

Can I just say, this video is incredible.

You Deserve more than a Million subscribers..!! Awesome Video.

That was an epic video My favorite part of the video was when cassini plunged in to Saturn's atmosphere @ 15:49 The animation is just so sad and heart touching 😢😢 Please make the next video about *what did the Galileo space craft see* Thank you and keep up the work 😆

😎 The narrator's talent for Dramatic Phrasing is one of my favorite things about these videos. 👍

Amazing and breathtaking. Thank you for this great video.

V101 i admire how scientifically accurate you are with ur videos, like an icing on the cake of ur editing, narration and of course that crystal clear voice!!👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾🥇🥇🥇🥇

Extraordinay image at 11:21.Never saw such detailed image of the rings.Kind of creepy...

Wow that saturn beauty at the last is incredible!

Thank You Cassini and the Crew. What a sight to see, and thank you V101 Science the future looks exciting.

Every time I watch videos like this I get 2 feelings 1 is in awe and 2 is scared to death

16min of Space dose. I'll be good for a while. Thanks!

Love this channel

Would have LOVED to see a video of it entering Saturn's atmosphere before destruction (if such a thing is possible). I still can't believe how many years were involved. I hope we can find a faster travel soon. Would be nice to have arrived weeks after launch. I can't even image how awesome that would be. Thanks so much for sharing this information. Love your channel.

Great video man!
