Farewell Cassini...
Caption NASA:"This Natural Color view view is the last image taken by the imaging cameras on NASA's Cassini Spacecraft. It looks toward the planet's night side, lit by reflected light from the Rings, and shows the location at which the Spacecraft would enter the Planet's Atmosphere a few hours later.

ThE view was created by using images taken with red, green and blue spectral filters. The imaging cameras obtained the view at approximately the same time that Cassini's Vsual and InfraRed Mapping Spectrometer made its own observations of the impact area in the thermal infrared.

This location - the site of Cassini's atmospheric entry - was at this time on the night side of the Planet, but would rotate into daylight by the time Cassini made its final dive into Saturn's Upper Atmosphere, ending its remarkable 13-year exploration of Saturn.

The view was acquired on Sept. 14, 2017 at 19:59 UTC (spacecraft event time). The view was taken in Visible Light using the Cassini Spacecraft Wide-Angle Camera at a distance of about 394.000 miles (such as roughly 634.081 Km) from Saturn. Image scale is about 11 miles (about 17,7 Km). The original image has a size of 512 x 512 pixels".
