Unmanned Spaceflight.com _ Cassini's ongoing mission and raw images _ Viewing Cassini's Grand Finale From Home

Posted by: joshualevy Sep 13 2017, 06:32 PM

I was wondering what people thought would be the best way to experience Cassini's "Grand Finale" from home, using the internet? I was thinking about watching NASA's ustream channel in one window, and maybe tracking #Cassini and @CassiniSaturn tweets in another. But does anyone have any other good ideas about tweet tags to follow, or other forums of social media that would be fun to use to track Cassini's last hours and to hear what others are thinking during that time? Has anyone announced that the will be tweeting regularly during the grand finale? Or posting on other social media?

The principal twitter feeds that I will be following are Emily Lakdawalla, @elakdawalla, Sarah Hörst, @PlanetDr, and the real scientists group twitter feed, @realscientists.

I expect them all to be quite active until the end, and after, until they collapse from fatigue and sadness at the end of the mission.
They will undoubtedly link to lots of other feeds.
