Cassini em 3D: posição e trajetória ao vivo

Lançada em 1997, orbitou Saturno a partir de 2004 e encerrou a sua missão dentro do planeta em 2017.A posição real de Cassini é mostrada, segundo a trajetória calculada pelo NASA JPL Horizons. A vista se abre sobre Cassini; você pode viajar no tempo, acompanhar a sua rota e compará-la com a dos planetas.
