- Info – Cassini's last great portrait of Saturn. Without a doubt an emotional and historic image, this 6000px-wide photomontage of Saturn was acquired on 13 September 2017, two days before the spacecraft took its final plunge into the planet's atmosphere, ending it's 20-year journey through deep space. Six moons are visible in this view, along with the famous "ringshine" phenomena. The other two great trailing panoramas taken by Cassini are already featured pictures on Commons (2006, 2013), and I feel that the gallery would not be complete without this final, ultimate view before the end of one of mankind's greatest flights. – Created by the National Aeronautics and Space Agency (NASA), Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL), California Institute of Technology, and the Space Science Institute - uploaded by Philip Terry Graham - nominated by Philip Terry Graham -- PhilipTerryGraham (talk) 02:48, 20 February 2018 (UTC)
