A glistening spaceship, with seven lonely years and billions of miles behind it, glides into orbit around a softly-hued, ringed planet. A flying-saucer shaped machine descends through a hazy atmosphere and lands on the surface of an alien moon, ten times farther from the Sun than the Earth. Fantastic though they seem, these visions are not a dream. For seven years, the Cassini spacecraft and its Huygens probe traveled invisible interplanetary roads to the place we call Saturn. Their successful entry into orbit in the summer of 2004, the mythic landing of Huygens on the cold, dark equatorial plains of Titan, and Cassini’s subsequent decade-long exploration of the Saturnian environment have become the stuff of legends. What they have shown us, and the images they have collected, are being closely examined in the pursuit of invaluable scientific insights on the nature of this very remote planetary system.

Awesome lecture! Carolyn Porco has done a spectacular job with the Cassini mission! She's extremely passionate about science and exploration, and that is what I really like about her! I want to know more! I want to know more about the Saturnian system, and astronomy in general, and she does too! Let's go back, and also beyond! We really need to explore far more often!

Great!! I've been following Cassini-Huygens from the start but still found Carolyn's talk really worthwhile - full of passion, understandable but not over dumbed down. I'd have to agree that Enceladus is go-to place to send a spacecraft to test for life. Hugh

Yeah, So many great SVA Astronomy lectures and other interesting talks on the Cosmos, with useless Laser pointers. It needs to be a much larger point on the screen to understand what they are referring to in some cases.

Thrilling lecture. Your dream of space flight and exploration is shared by millions. The addition of more lifetime to do it in would be good also, though that feels futile somehow. I want to buzz around and thru the rings close up, somehow safely, and understand the mechanisms that built them.

It seems like someone working in the auditorium could have lowered the lights during the Q&A so Madame Saturn wouldn't have to cover her eyes to keep from being BLINDED. She sent a spaceship to freakin' Saturn...you guys could at least successfully operate a dimmer switch, dontcha' think?

Dr. Porco is an mazing scientist and I really enjoyed her talk. I would have enjoyed it much more, however, if I had been able to see anything other than a speaking shadow. Did no one think to turn a light onto the speaker? Surely those in the audience would have enjoyed seeing her too?

How do you know that evolution is not God’s way of creation? I think it is. All evidence tells me that except for the fairytale of the Jewish bible. My faith in God is so strong that I don’t have to put any limits on Him

I think all evidence tells us that evolution is God’s way of creation. The stories of the Hebrew bible are just the stories of simple men trying to understand the world. Don’t presume to put limits on God.😇 Praise Jesus
