Summary:

On 15 September 2017, the Cassini spacecraft ended its remarkable 13-year tour of Saturn by plunging into the gas giant's atmosphere and burning up. Horizon follows the team behind NASA's most successful spacecraft as they prepare for its dramatic descent. Take an incredible journey past Saturn's rings and the small moons orbiting within them. This is the first view from inside the rings, and the closest ever look at Saturn's swirling cloud tops. It's also the first accurate measurement of Saturn's magnetic field, which promises to unlock more mysteries - not just about Saturn, but the entire solar system.
