Wonderfully fake CGI depiction of what Saturn and Cassini are said to look like (KPCC)

These are official photos from the official NASA website showing different planets of different landmasses, proportions, and ocean colors -- ALL said to be actual photos of our Earth. Where are the stars and the atmosphere? Hey, NASA, which CGI Earth do we actually live on?

Join us here for the live video stream on Monday, September 18 (or go to Caltech to try to get in although this event has, technically-speaking, reached capacity.

• [WARNING: All of this may be NASA CGI and a cover story about our public space program, part of the consensus-reality story we are all raised on, which may not be actually true. But let's play along like NASA never covers anything or sets up elaborate cover stories in the place of truth. Ask John Lear for what's really going on.]

This is part of the disclosure process.

The Cassini spacecraft has had quite a life over the past two decades.

It has sailed past the dusty rings of Saturn, skimmed the massive hexagonal storm at the planet's North Pole, checked out the icy dunes of Titan, and tasted the potentially life-filled geysers of Enceladus.

Now, after exploring the Saturn system for more than a decade, Cassini's mission came to an end this morning, September 15th, when it descended into and burned up in Saturn’s atmosphere.

Join KPCC’s science reporter Jacob Margolis and The Planetary Society’s Mat Kaplan for an event that celebrates the life of Cassini and the people who made the mission possible.

In public, NASA laughs at Planet Nirbiru

On Monday, Sept. 18th, Margolis will take guests on a storytelling adventure through Cassini’s [alleged] mission -- its perilous swings past gas giants, icy rings, and moons that carry the precursors for life.

Kaplan will lead an onstage discussion with the JPL scientists and engineers who have been working on the project since the 1980s and made it all possible. More
