Cassini's Infrared Saturn | Director's Cut

The video discusses the Cassini mission's discoveries about Saturn and its moons. It covers a massive storm on Saturn, the unique features of icy moons like Mimas and Tethys, and the surprising activity on Enceladus, including its subsurface ocean. The video also highlights Titan's organic-rich atmosphere and the discovery of propylene. Finally, it describes Cassini's grand finale, where the spacecraft made close passes over Saturn before disintegrating in its atmosphere.
