The Cassini probe is getting more dangerous assignments as its mission nears its end, and the sun's surface may be simpler than we once thought.

Cassini is about to take its final dive into the rings of Saturn, and scientists are still debating the status of water on our moon.

Dan Reisenfeld from the University of Montana joins us this week to talk about his work with three different NASA missions (Genesis, IBEX, and Cassini), and Jessi from Animal Wonders brings along Ginger and Maui the Green Cheek Conures!

Titan is the only other body in the solar system that can support liquid on its surface. But not liquid water, liquid methane. What did NASA's Cassini discover about the lakes of Saturn's moon, Titan?

The people behind Cassini's Composite Infrared Spectrometer (CIRS) reflect on their years-long experience working with their team - relationships formed, children born, challenges conquered, and their feelings as the Cassini mission...
