Cassini's Grand Finale Tour at Saturn

NASA APOD
COSMIC MESSAGE

The Cassini spacecraft, after over a decade exploring Saturn, is preparing for its "Grand Finale" mission, ending with a plunge into the planet's atmosphere in September. This diagram shows Cassini's remaining orbits, which include months of passes just outside Saturn's outermost F ring. A gravitational assist from Titan will then pull Cassini into its final "Proximal orbits" in April.
