        It's running out of fuel. They want to prevent it from crashing into one of the moons & instead make last measurements of the atmosphere.

        I know. They don't want to risk contamination. It was just a joke.

        Considering I never buy lip balm, I've certainly gotten my money's worth out of #Cassini - next time, @NASA should put on belly tanks!
