Cassini\u0026rsquo;s Grand Finale begins in April 2017 with\u0026nbsp;repeated dives between the innermost ring and the top of\u0026nbsp;Saturn\u0026rsquo;s atmosphere. Cassini will send back its final bits of\u0026nbsp;unique data on September 15, 2017 as it plunges into Saturn\u0026rsquo;s\u0026nbsp;atmosphere, vaporizing to protect tiny Enceladus, one of\u0026nbsp;Saturn\u0026rsquo;s ocean worlds. Come and hear the story of recent\u0026nbsp;science discoveries and the upcoming excitement during the final\u0026nbsp;orbits. Dr. Linda Spilker, Cassini Project Scientist, will\u0026nbsp;present highlights of Cassini\u0026rsquo;s ambitious inquiry at Saturn and\u0026nbsp;an overview of science observations in the final orbits.\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n\r\n\u003Cp\u003E\u003Ca href=\u0022http:\/\/cstar.gatech.edu\/cstar-distinguished-lecture-series\u0022\u003Ehttp:\/\/cstar.gatech.edu\/cstar-distinguished-lecture-series\u003C\/a\u003E\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n","summary":null,"format":"limited_html"}],"field_subtitle":"","field_summary":[{"value":"\u003Cp\u003EReception for Dr. Linda Spilker from 6:00-7:00 pm,\u0026nbsp;Presentation from 7:00-8:00 pm.\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n","format":"limited_html"}],"field_summary_sentence":[{"value":"Reception for Dr. Linda Spilker from 6:00-7:00 pm,\u00a0Presentation from 7:00-8:00 pm."}],"uid":"27469","created_gmt":"2017-02-13 21:33:13","changed_gmt":"2017-04-13 21:12:50","author":"Kristen Bailey","boilerplate_text":"","field_publication":"","field_article_url":"","field_event_time":{"event_time_start":"2017-02-22T18:00:00-05:00","event_time_end":"2017-02-22T20:00:00-05:00","event_time_end_last":"2017-02-22T20:00:00-05:00","gmt_time_start":"2017-02-22 23:00:00","gmt_time_end":"2017-02-23 01:00:00","gmt_time_end_last":"2017-02-23 01:00:00","rrule":null,"timezone":"America\/New_York"},"extras":[],"hg_media":{"586284":{"id":"586284","type":"image","title":"Dr. Linda Spilker","body":null,"created":"1485135139","gmt_created":"2017-01-23 01:32:19","changed":"1485135139","gmt_changed":"2017-01-23 01:32:19","alt":"","file":{"fid":"223453","name":"SpilkerL.jpg","image_path":"\/sites\/default\/files\/images\/SpilkerL.jpg","image_full_path":"http:\/\/hg.gatech.edu\/\/sites\/default\/files\/images\/SpilkerL.jpg","mime":"image\/jpeg","size":12471,"path_740":"http:\/\/hg.gatech.edu\/sites\/default\/files\/styles\/740xx_scale\/public\/images\/SpilkerL.jpg?itok=SI6K01Z5"}}},"media_ids":["586284"],"related_links":[{"url":"http:\/\/cstar.gatech.edu\/cstar-distinguished-lecture-series","title":"More Information"}],"groups":[],"categories":[],"keywords":[],"core_research_areas":[],"news_room_topics":[],"event_categories":[{"id":"1795","name":"Seminar\/Lecture\/Colloquium"}],"invited_audience":[{"id":"78761","name":"Faculty\/Staff"},{"id":"78771","name":"Public"},{"id":"78751","name":"Undergraduate students"},{"id":"174045","name":"Graduate students"}],"affiliations":[],"classification":[],"areas_of_expertise":[],"news_and_recent_appearances":[],"phone":[],"contact":[{"value":"\u003Cp\u003EMichelle Hall\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n\r\n\u003Cp\u003E\u003Ca href=\u0022mailto:michelle.hall@aerospace.gatech.edu\u0022\u003Emichelle.hall@aerospace.gatech.edu\u003C\/a\u003E\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n\r\n\u003Cp\u003E\u0026nbsp;\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n","format":"limited_html"}],"email":[],"slides":[],"orientation":[],"userdata":""}}}
