On 15th September 2017, the Cassini spacecraft will point itself toward the surface of Saturn and end its 13-year mission to explore the planet, with a crash.
Whilst you are counting down to the end of the mission why not take a look at Joshua Colwell's ebook, The Ringed Planet, covering Cassini's discoveries so far. You can download the first chapter free online today.
Also, get behind the scenes of the mission with Joshua's feature in the September issue of Physics World.
This book is a dramatic journey of discovery through the Saturn system. Cassini's instruments have revealed never seen before details including the only extraterrestrial lakes known in the solar system and have provided unprecedented views of the rings.
The Ringed Planet is a non-technical book for everyone who loves astronomy.
