What data will they be able to get during the burn?

In mid-September, following a distant encounter with Titan, the spacecraft's path will be bent so that it dives into the planet. When Cassini makes its final plunge into Saturn's atmosphere on Sept. 15, it will send data from several instruments – most notably, data on the atmosphere's composition – until its signal is lost.

Of course i am not serious. Other planets dont even exist, how could they have rings?

Those rings are photoshopped. I can tell from the pixels and my extensive experience with photoshop.

If aliens crashed their space probe into Earth how would we feel?
Posted on 9/10/17 at 7:46 pm to DavidTheGnome
Fun fact: At some point in the future all the rings of Saturn will be gone.

I'd really love to see them crash it in Uranus...

hard to believe it has been that long since it was launched. damn fine job by the NASA folks to make that work so well for so long.

It's currently making its closest path by Titan and mapping it: LINK
This is the moon Huygens landed on: LINK
Huygens was an atmospheric entry probe that landed successfully on Saturn's moon Titan in 2005. Built and operated by the European Space Agency (ESA), it was part of the Cassini–Huygens mission and became the first spacecraft ever to land on Titan and the furthest landing from Earth a spacecraft has ever made.[1] The probe was named after the Dutch 17th-century astronomer Christiaan Huygens,[2] who discovered Titan in 1655.
The combined Cassini–Huygens spacecraft was launched from Earth on October 15, 1997.[2] Huygens separated from the Cassini orbiter on December 25, 2004, and landed on Titan on January 14, 2005 near the Xanadu region.[3] This was the first and, so far, only landing ever accomplished in the outer Solar System.[4] It touched down on land, although the possibility that it would touch down in an ocean was also taken into account in its design. The probe was designed to gather data for a few hours in the atmosphere, and possibly a short time at the surface. It continued to send data for about 90 minutes after touchdown. It remains the most distant landing of any human-made craft.
