Vendar se ji je zaloga goriva iztekala, kar je pomenilo, da znanstveniki misije ne bi mogli ve\u010d dolgo nadzorovati njenega delovanja. \u010ce bi sondo Cassini pustili, da se neovirano giblje skozi vesolje, bi lahko tr\u010dila v eno od Saturnovih lun, na primer v ledeni Enceladus. To bi bila slaba novica, saj bi se na Cassiniju morda pripeljali trdovratni mikroorganizmi z Zemlje, ki bi nato ostali na luni. Ko bodo znanstveniki v prihodnosti raziskovali te lune v iskanju znakov \u017eivljenja, bi bilo zelo zavajajo\u010de, \u010de bi tam na\u0161li mikroorganizme z Zemlje!<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\" data-width=\"1920\" data-credit=\"NASA\/JPL-Caltech\" data-detail-url=\"https:\/\/www.esa.int\/ESA_Multimedia\/Images\/2017\/09\/The_Cassini_probe_would_have_looked_like_this_as_it_got_closer_to_Saturn\" data-licence=\"ESA Standard Licence\" data-licence-url=\"https:\/\/www.esa.int\/ESA_Multimedia\/Terms_and_conditions_of_use_of_images_and_videos_available_on_the_esa_website\"><img decoding=\"async\" style=\"max-width: 100%; height: auto;\" src=\"https:\/\/www.esa.int\/var\/esa\/storage\/images\/esa_multimedia\/images\/2017\/09\/the_cassini_probe_would_have_looked_like_this_as_it_got_closer_to_saturn\/17894388-2-eng-GB\/The_Cassini_probe_would_have_looked_like_this_as_it_got_closer_to_Saturn.jpg\" alt=\"The Cassini probe would have looked like this as it got closer to Saturn\" \/><figcaption>Sonda Cassini bi takole izgledala, ko bi se pribli\u017eevala Saturnu<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Ko je bila sprejeta odlo\u010ditev, da se misija Cassinija zaklju\u010di z njegovim uni\u010denjem, so znanstveniki spoznali, da si lahko pri tem robotskem raziskovalcu privo\u0161\u010dijo ve\u010d tveganja. Cassini je zadnjih pet mesecev pre\u017eivel z letenjem med Saturnom in njegovimi obro\u010di, pri \u010demer je izvajal nevarne manevre za snemanje fotografij in zbiranje podatkov.

Huygens je pristal na Titanu in ugotovil, da je ta zelo podoben Zemlji, kakr\u0161na je bila davno v preteklosti, \u0161e preden se je na njej razvilo \u017eivljenje.<\/p>\n<p>Cassini je nato obiskal \u0161e druge Saturnove lune, kot so Iapetus, ki ima po celotnem srednjem delu velik izbok; Hyperion, ki izgleda kot ogromna goba; ter Mimas, ki ima ogromen krater, zaradi \u010desar je zelo podoben Zvezdni smrti iz filma Vojna zvezd!<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\" data-width=\"1920\" data-credit=\"NASA\/JPL-Caltech\" data-detail-url=\"https:\/\/www.esa.int\/ESA_Multimedia\/Images\/2017\/09\/Eight_of_Cassini_s_scientific_instruments_were_used_during_its_grand_finale\" data-licence=\"ESA Standard Licence\" data-licence-url=\"https:\/\/www.esa.int\/ESA_Multimedia\/Terms_and_conditions_of_use_of_images_and_videos_available_on_the_esa_website\"><img decoding=\"async\" style=\"max-width: 100%; height: auto;\" src=\"https:\/\/www.esa.int\/var\/esa\/storage\/images\/esa_multimedia\/images\/2017\/09\/eight_of_cassini_s_scientific_instruments_were_used_during_its_grand_finale\/17894536-2-eng-GB\/Eight_of_Cassini_s_scientific_instruments_were_used_during_its_grand_finale.jpg\" alt=\"Eight of Cassini\u2019s scientific instruments were used during its grand finale\" \/><figcaption>Med velikim zaklju\u010dkom misije Cassini so uporabili osem njegovih znanstvenih instrumentov<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Morda najbolj vznemirljiva odkritja so bila narejena v zvezi z lunom Enceladusom.

Znanstveniki so to vodo preu\u010dili in menijo, da bi ocean lahko vseboval kemikalije in energijo, potrebne za preproste oblike \u017eivljenja! Prihodnja misija bi to lahko z gotovostjo potrdila. Na\u010drtovalci misij \u017ee pripravljajo naslednjo generacijo robotskih raziskovalcev. ESA se pripravlja na izstrelitev sonda Jupiter Icy Moons Orbiter (ali skraj\u0161ano JUICE!) leta 2022.
