Cassini's mission is over, but we have several explorers at work up there yet!

The New Horizons probe (which took those breathtaking pictures of Pluto and Caronte) is approaching the Kuiper Belt, to study some of its objects next December.

Also, Juno, better known for taking the closest picture of Jupiter’s Great Red Spot to date (less than 10k kms from its surface), is still revealing secrets from the Jovian giant. She will stay in orbit for a year or two, before falling into Jupiter's atmosphere, in a similar way that Cassini did.
