I was watching this last night as it happened. The tornadoes were strong enough to have a large debris cloud show up on radar. They detected debris in the air as high as 25,000 feet.

Earth received the last radio signals from NASA’s Cassini spacecraft, at 7:55 a.m. EDT. Launched in 1997, Cassini traveled 7 years to reach Saturn. There, it spent 13 years gathering data about the planet and its moons, until the craft’s fuel was almost exhausted. Its mission ended when operators purposely had it dive into Saturn’s atmosphere to disintegrate.– 2017

Launched: 9/15/1997.
