(This lecture will also be presented online.)
Entering Saturn's orbit in 2004, the Cassini orbiter has returned years of insights on this scientifically rich planetary system. On September 15, 2017, its mission will end and the spacecraft will be sent plunging into Saturn. Carolyn Porco, principal investigator for the Cassini imaging system, will present a retrospective look at what we have learned from Cassini and what its final legacy is likely to be.
