Sad the mission is over, but a well earned blaze of glory perhaps . . . .
If Hubble can resolve an object a few tons in mass burning up in saturn's atmosphere, I am surprised we haven't seen more images of natural meteors burning up in saturn's atmosphere, I would imagine objects comparable to Cassini in mass would enter saturn's atmosphere fairly often.
