Cassini was a space probe sent to study Saturn. It burned up upon atmosphere entry to the planet.
Down.
Down.
I fall from a foreign sky
Endless depths I plunge,
Here to die.
Alone in the darkness I did soar
Around
and
around
Forever more
Until the time came, far from home
Power died down,
Left with no time
to roam.
The first of my kind to perish
But oh what a view to see
Just the
rings,
clouds,
And me
