Hi Oscar, Will the ending of the Nasa Cassini Mission affect Saturn? Thanks. Elizabeth

Hi Elizabeth, Apparently, trees pass messages to each other through the soil. But their awareness works on such a slow timescale that we’re unable to fathom it. So a tree would only know that it was being hugged if the hug lasted a very long time! Similarly, it’s highly unlikely that Saturn has noticed our interferen­ce. We, on the other hand, can easily be humbled by its majesty. Oscar
