Cassini was such a successful and productive mission. We need to keep exploring.

Fantastic talk, Thanks RI And Michelle. I think this is one of the most interesting of the RI vids i've seen to date!

I got tears in my eyes from that ending. What a fantastic talk about an amazing journey.

We got emotional because of the sacrifice that the machine did after gave us so much info that was confused with a very human behaviour of heroism.

Great stuff. Cassini is probably the most successful collaborative expedition of any sort of the last century. It was woefully under reported by the 'media'.

The media, which don't need quotes, react to what people want to see. If Cassini was under reported, which i wouldn't say, it's because of not much attention form the public. The simple facts of life are, that you can not be constantly amazed for 20 years. For the general public It will always come down to highlights. Hence the few views of this talk. And for the rest there are tons of sources. Like Nasa and Esa themselves. And YOU, my media quoting friend, are NOT different. I'd bet a few $ on that. You also would not have read daily reports on Cassini for a decade. Neither am i. Having said that, i'm currently reading a quite in-depth book about Cassini.

Bloody marvelous, just absolutely beautiful.Everyone involved with Cassini should be so proud.

Good talk. No pandering of the "raise your hand if you..." sort, just straight to important original work done by the presenter.

It is not a bad idea to engage audience like that but it is not suitable for all presentations.

I cried, I bawled, I wept at the closing video. ❤🎉❤🎉❤

Brilliant-cut, thanks. Can't help but drift off and daydream during some of the science but what a fantastic achievement and story.

Remarkable, admirable stuff. Thank you. :)

Excellent talk.

Very interesting. Thanks.

wow, nice talk, very informative, almost cried at the end video :)

great scientist, thank you for sharing!

What a brilliant lecture. What a bless. Few days ago I watched bbc and nasa film about Titan's probe. It was very emotional. Then I found this brilliant video! It was very interesting to see real people who worked for two decades in this project. Thank you for the lecture. I am major in biology from Russia. I can totally relay to this scientific work. I am impressed by dedication of this scientists.

Great talk!

Fantastic mission and a really good talk, I found out some things I must have missed earlier. Soo... when is the next mission? I want an orbiter of Enceladus with a much better mass spectrometer.

Brilliant. Proper scientific lecture. You can get her back again! 🚀🌗💫

I love you science! 😍

More. More!. Encore.

Great talk, I love this mission! Only one problem, I noticed around 24:50 Michele Dougherty's slides are animated but the close-ups on post-production aren't. I've noticed this before on Ri talks. Would be great to get the animation with Enceladus orbiting and interacting with Saturn's magnetic field. Also, I couldn't see on the wide-shot if the picture to the bottom right on that slide had any animation. Does Enceladus drag the magnetic field behind it? That's for the talk, keep up the excellent work!

We haven't quite figured out a way to do it in a smooth way. We're trialing screen recording at the moment but haven't quite ironed out the kinks yet.

God damn it NASA, you're not supposed to make me cry...

The need for a difference between rotational tilt and orbital tilt to generate the magnetic field is interesting. Does this apply to Magnetars and Black Holes?

😢 We'll miss you little Cassini.

What’s the temperature difference and range of the craft thermal mass ..

How come I never saw this one ?? .. well now i did :)

Note that the thermal blanket "gold-foil" wasn't gold but a sandwich of aluminium, Kapton and other plastics.

That immediately caught my attention; surely misspoken; should have said "first investigated by Galileo."

A wonderful, concise, and data dense, presentation and thanks much for it. It seems evident to me that the ring systems we observe in our solar system cannot be long lived artifacts. They seem to me to be products of accident or misadventure on the near cosmic scale, though what sort of events could leave the evidence we see of disparate moons, unevenly distributed mass, and the preponderance of persistent anomalies like Neptune's Dark Spot, and the Jovian Red Spot, which current apprehensions cannot quite absorb. Take, for example, Enceladus*: it leaves friction behind in orbit. Every time it orbits it loses mass through outgassing and orbital Vee though drag of passing through its own waste. This is not a four billion year old process. Otherwise, these ring causing moons would have been enormous early on, compared to today's estimates, and where did they orbit then? Those big planets would've been a lot more unstable with giant moons capable of billion year outgassing events . . . and those would've been more drastic losses of mass and vee for larger moons earlier on-would they not? What would that do for the orbital mechanics of the multimoon systems then? I think we cannot backtrack, because we allow for no randomicity; i.e.: it MUST be thus and so and never disturbed once so we can add weight to our ideas about the antiquity of the system. *And Io.

cassini was a big job.they should send another robot too now to explore much.saturn will always have a lot to be explored and it should be explored

As a child I thought wow we would travel to the stars. There is a building that reminded me of a future space building near here, but it's the main post office. The problem with every planet or possible planet is until we find life of any sort, we only know life is here. Even if we find a planet that's a perfect copy, we would only know it supports life. Also sincecwhere looking at a systems light from a long distance, the likely hood is where life was and is in that system. Some time ago, it looked like we found a Dyson sphere. We didnt. Until we find it. We dont know. If we do, then we now find some rang to look better and further. Time will tell

i love this planet,it s big wild and powerfull.i think is the most powerful in solar system.and after earth i think is the most interesting.of course earth have life and is different.and don t forget that is the only one with rings

What is the potential for the formation of life in low gravity? Wonder whether a certain level of gravity might be another factor necessary for life.

Also, gravity is so much weaker than electro-chemical bonds at short range (something like 10^40 less) that the amount of gravity it would take to interfere would tear a planet apart or turn it into a micro-star or quantum plasma field of some kind.

So

would a probe still burn up in a planets atmosphere if there was no oxygen 🤔

Saturn's rings are set to "disappear" in 2025 until 2029. The planet will be angled just the right way so that we'll see the rings from the side, so the rings will just appear as a thin line, if at all. Eventually, in 2029 they'll start turning back towards Earth and we'll be able to see them again. I've seen a lot of clickbait articles about it saying simply "Saturn's rings will disappear!" in the title. Dunno why they need to exagerate something that's already amazing. Lack of confidence?

Saturn had been discovered since the existence of Atlantis

The Royal Institution KZread cache problem causes stuttering. And I spoke too soon - in this one there is a conversation with an audience member that's completely one-sided. If that can't be mic'd properly, asking the speaker to give just a brief recap of the question for those who couldn't hear would be great.

D RING. Hehehe

Enceladus is a bit special.

Second

Cassini...sticker collecting and book.

2:30 I'm sure she did not want to make this mistake, but no body can claim the "discovery" of Saturn. Neptune, Uranus and so on were discovered, but Saturn has always been visible with the naked eye. Galileo did not discovered Saturn, he first saw it with a telescope.

@RadixSortable

As pointed out elsewhere, she could have made it more clear to be sure, however she is talking specifically about the ring system of Saturn. In 1610 Galileo documented strange bulges on either side of the planet which he thought were moons. Over the course of 6 years he documented this phenomena which turned out to be the rings of Saturn.

2:21 "1st of all Saturn was discovered by Galileo" ... Not the rings, not the moons, Saturn, that statement is not true, it's just an irrelevant error since she knows very well what she's talking about with regards to the scientific mission and her role in it.

Lovely lovely lady, i should've had a teacher as passionate as her. Or lover.

42:35 I see you're just a bunch of geniuses, aren't you? You killed Cassini probe in Saturn because you didn't want a man-made object on the surface of Titan or Enceladus. And for the same reason you safely landed Huygens probe on Titan.

Interesting talk, but who let the trained seals in....Sounds like a flu epidemic....lol

It's even more similar to Revelation suitcases. It's eerie.

The most useful part of Cassini Mission was huygens data and navigation of space craft. All the unknown you listed in your talk, be it rotation of Saturn or the heat of it’s moons is due to lack understanding of correct structure of space bodies and their evolution. I have told NASA and their scientist. They have been too stupid to ask officially, even though their missions have confirmed my information. man has no coherent space plane. So Space agencies musical chair is continuing. Good for job Re-inventing wheels. You know how funny it sounds to say Cassini running out of fuel while talking about all the water at Saturn. MG1

yes for some reason she should have said Galileo discovered the rings of Saturn. No idea why. There's no date for the ''discovery'' of the planets that can be seen by the eye ball mark one. Maybe 10000 years ago.
