Her engineers pack her full of tools that can measure, take pictures, and taste chemicals. It takes her seven years to reach Saturn's orbit, where she investigates Enceladus, the shiniest moon in the solar system. To the amazement of her scientists back home, Cassini makes a series of incredible discoveries: liquid water, chemicals, and energy--the ingredients for life! But Cassini doesn't have the right tools or enough fuel to answer the big questions that come next. This bittersweet true story is rich with both science and wonder, with illustrations that capture the breathtaking scale of our solar system. Back matter provides further insight and information, as well as additional educational resources.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eKatie Venit \u003c\/b\u003egrew up staring at the stars through the skylight over her bed, wondering if there was life out there somewhere.
