Cassini — spacecraft, shown live in Cosmoscope, a real-time 3D map of the universe.
Cassini orbited Saturn for thirteen years before its “Grand Finale” dive into the planet, transforming our view of its rings, storms and ocean moons.
Cosmoscope draws Cassini on its real trajectory, from mission ephemeris rather than an artist's impression. Open the live 3D view to see where Cassini is right now, how far it has travelled from the Sun, and how long its radio signal takes to reach Earth. Scrub the timeline to replay the route that took it there.
