Ausstrahlung: Feb 23, 2018

Last September, the NASA/ESA Cassini-Huygens spacecraft mission ended its 20 years in space by burning up in Saturn’s atmosphere (on purpose). Hear from Michele Dougherty, one of the mission's lead scientists, as she describes some surprising discoveries made during the orbital tour at Saturn, including water vapor plumes at the small moon Enceladus and implications this has for potential habitability.
