The colourful, animated doodle, created by US artist Nate Swineheart, depicts a cute little Cassini spacecraft as an interstellar photographer, waiting with a camera.
As Saturn comes into view, Cassini clicks multiple images of Saturn, and then takes a selfie.
The spacecraft will indulge in series of swoops between Saturn and its rings that are part of Cassini's dramatic "Grand Finale," a set of orbits offering scientists an unprecedented look at the second largest planet in our solar system.
Cassini is a joint endeavour of NASA, the European Space Agency (ESA), and the Italian space agency (ASI).
The spacecraft began its 2.2 billion-mile journey 20 years ago and has been hanging out with Saturn since 2004.
Later this year, Cassini will say goodbye and become part of Saturn when it crashes through the planet's atmosphere.
