A CLOSER lOOK
scientists now know a lot about Saturn, but it still holds many mysteries Because of this, 17 countries worked together to build a spacecraft, called Cassini. Launched in october 1997, Cassini started sending information from Saturn to Earth in 2004. Its images and videos have been extremely valuable. For example, in 2008, scientists found evidence that one of Saturn's moons might contain basic life forms. All these year later, Cassini still sends daily information back to Earth. Using this date, scientists will continue to make exciting new discoveries for many years to come.
