Mission accomplished for Cassini as the probe crashes into Saturn

One of the most successful space mission's, Cassini, has come to spectacular end. The probe was plunged into Saturn's atmosphere earlier on Friday. Cassini soon fell silent after breaking apart on entry.

It was a violent finale to a space odyssey which began nearly 20 years ago. The craft took 7 years to reach Saturn, but once there it transformed our understanding of the sixth planet from the Sun, sending back spectacular images.
