The sound track is Samuel Barber's Adagio for Strings, often claimed by some to be the saddest music ever written (also used for a program on 9/11 recall) and somehow a poignantly appropriate piece to play for Cassini's farewell.

Thanks Richard !
It really is one of mankind's great achievements. I was lucky to attend a briefing by Dr Linda Spilker, the mission scientist, last year on the mission and the 'Grand Finale' phase Cassini is now in.. Just amazing
