Mimas, satellite of Saturn, seen by the Cassini probe on 13/02/2010 - Saturn's moon Mimas seen by Cassini spacecraft - February 13 2010 - The Mimas satellite photographed by the Cassini probe on 13 February 2010 has a distance of 16,000 km from the satellite. Mimas is about 400 km in diameter. In the centre left, the large impact crater Herschel, 130 km wide. Relatively dark regions below bright crater walls and streaks on some of the walls are seen in this mosaic of Saturn's moon Mimas, created from images taken by Nasa's Cassini spacecraft during its closest flyby of the moon. The crater floors and surroundings are about 20 percent darker than the steep crater walls in this view. Mimas 'original surface, like the surfaces of most of the other major Saturnian moons without atmospheres, is not pure ice but contains some dark impurities. The relatively dark markings appear along the lower portion of the walls of Herschel Crater (130 kilometers, 80 miles wide) and some of the smaller cra

Tethys, Saturn satellite, seen by the Cassini probe - Saturn's moon Tethys seen by Cassini spacecraft - The Tethys satellite photographed by the Cassini probe on August 30, 2007 at a distance of 97,000 km. Tethys is about 1070 km in diameter. At the top left of the picture is the gigantic impact crater Odysseus, which measures 450 km in diameter. The vast expanse of the crater Odysseus spreads out below Cassini in this mosaic view of Saturn's moon Tethys. The crater (450 kilometers or 280 miles across) is a remarkably well - preserved example of an ancient multi - ringed impact basin: the outer ring is defined by steep, cliff - like walls that descend to generally broad internal terraces. The inner ring is formed by a prominent, crown - shaped, 140 - kilometer (88 - mile) diameter circular band of icy mountains. Multi - ring basins are seen on rocky bodies as well as icy ones. The complex internal structure and multi - ringed nature of these very large basins are believed to arise from

The crater (450 kilometers or 280 miles across) is a remarkably well - preserved example of an ancient multi - ringed impact basin: the outer ring is defined by steep, cliff - like walls that descend to generally broad internal terraces. The inner ring is formed by a prominent, crown - shaped, 140 - kilometer (88 - mile) diameter circular band of icy mountains. Multi - ring basins are seen on rocky bodies as well as icy ones. The complex internal structure and multi - ringed nature of these very large basins are believed to arise from

Tethys, Saturn satellite, seen by the Cassini probe - Saturn's moon Tethys seen by Cassini spacecraft - The southern pole of the Tethys satellite photographed by the Cassini probe on September 24, 2005. Mosaic of nine images. With this full - disk mosaic, Cassini presents the best view yet of the south pole of Saturn's moon Tethys. The giant rift Ithaca Chasma cuts across the disk. Much of the topography seen here, including that of Ithaca Chasma, has a soft, muted appearance. It is clearly very old and has been heavily bombarded by impacts over time. Many of the fresh - appearing craters (ones with crisp relief) exhibit unusually bright crater floors. The origin of the apparent brightness (or “” albedo”) contrast is not known. It is possible that impacts punched through to a brighter layer underneath, or perhaps it is brighter because of different grain sizes or textures of the crater floor material in comparison to material along the crater walls and surrounding surface.

Exploration of Titan - Illustration - Looking for life on Titan - An automatic probe explores a hydrocarbon marsh in search of traces of life. A robotic probe explores a frigid ethane lake on Titan. Like the European Space Agency's Huygens probe, this probe carries its own light source as the surface of Titan is only 0.1 percent as bright as the Earth's. Titan is host to a plethora of organic (carbon - based) compounds, hence this is one of the few places in the Solar System where life outside of the Earth may have evolved. In many ways, Titan resemble a frozen primordial Earth, though the greatest obstacle to Titan harboring life - - as we know it - - is the extreme cold. Even though all the chemical ingredients are present, Titan simply may not be warm enough to initiate the chemical reactions required for life. Perhaps sometime in the next decades such a mission to Titan will be a reality

It is not known what lies beneath Titan's obscuring haze.* What is known is that Titan's atmosphere is one - and - a - half times as dense as the Earth's at sea level, and its composition is roughly 90% nitrogen and 10% other complex molecules such as methane (compare this to the Earth's atmosphere which is 78% nitrogen and 20% oxygen). Sadly, Titan's thick haze would make it unlikely that a visitor to Titan's surface could look up into the sky and see Saturn itself, but what the heck.

Oil Lake on Titan - Titan's ethane ocean - Artist's view of a hydrocarbon lake (methane - ethane) on the surface of Titan. Compared to the Earth, Titan is very far from the Sun's warming rays - - about ten times further - - and this leaves Titan a very cold world. Titan has an average surface temperature of minus 290o F. If there is any water on Titan it is frozen hard as steel, yet Titan may be the only body in the Solar System besides the Earth that harbors a liquid ocean. Titan's ocean would not be one of water, rather it would probably be composed of (very cold) liquid ethane. (On the Earth we know ethane as a colorless, odorless, nontoxic, flammable gas, a constituent of natural gas and petroleum.) If this werenn't exotic enough, immediately beneath this ocean may lie hundreds of feet of frozen acetylene (a common component of welder's torches)

Scientists have long speculated that methane and ethane may exist as liquids on Titan's extremely cold surface, but it wasn't until 2005 that the Cassini spacecraft's radar imager detected what indeed may be large hydrocarbon lakes on Titan's northern latitudes. While it is believed that the liquid in these lakes would be primarily methane and ethane, this won't be confirmed until the lakes - - if that's indeed what they are - - are actually sampled.

Enceladus is considered one of Saturn's major satellites, however it is quite diminutive when compared with the Earth and Earth's Moon. With a radius of only 160 miles, Enceladus could rest in the Gulf of Mexico with plenty of room to spare. Enceladus is one of the brightest objects in the Solar System. Where Earth's Moon has a surface reflectively about the same as charcoal, Enceladus is covered in water ice that reflects sunlight like freshly fallen snow

Cassini - Huygens en route to Titan - The Cassini - Huygens probe above Titan's atmosphere - Artist's view of the Cassini probe before the separation of the European Huygens module on 25 December 2004. Huygens landed on the Titan satellite on 14 January 2005. The Cassini-Huygens probe was launched on 15 October 1997 and has been placed in orbit around Saturn since 1 July 2004. This artist's conception of the Cassini orbiter shows the Huygens probe before separation to enter Titan's atmosphere. After separation, the probe drifts for about three weeks until reaching its destination. Equipped with a variety of scientific sensors, the Huygens probe will spend 2 - 2.5 hours descending through Titan's dense, murky atmosphere of nitrogen and carbon - based molecules, beaming its findings to the distant Cassini orbiter overhead. The probe could continue to relay information for up to 30 minutes after it lands on Titan's frigid surface, after which the orbiter passes beneath the horizon as seen

Astronauts on Titan - Illustration - Releasing a weather balloon on Titan - Astronauts make meteorological measurements on the surface of Titan. A titanian explorer prepares to release a weather balloon while another direct a flood lamp to illuminate the activity. On the left is a supply cart with a portable weather station, featuring an interactive control panel designed to accommodate hands enclosed in thick gloves. All exposed hardware would have to function at temperatures of minus 300* F and below. With an atmosphere 10 times denser than the Earth's, weather would be of keen interest to Titan's visitors. High in Titan's atmosphere wind velocities in excess of 400 mph have been detected. While not much is known about winds and weather at Triton's surface, terrain features resembling dune fields have been observed, suggesting surface winds have occurred at some locations. Fogs of methane gas would likely be present at the surface as well

Dione, satellite of Saturn, seen by Cassini - Dione, moon of Saturn, as seen by Cassini - Mosaic of images obtained by the Cassini probe on 11 October 2005 at a distance of about 25,000 km from the satellite. As it departed its encounter with Saturn's moon Dione, Cassini sailed above an unreal landscape blasted by impacts. The rising Sun throws craters into sharp contrast and reveals steep crater walls. At the far right, a medium - sized crater is bisected by a fracture, revealing a cross section of the impact site. The seven clear - filter images in this mosaic were taken with the Cassini spacecraft narrow - angle camera on Oct. 11, 2005, at distances ranging from 21.650 to 25.580 kilometers (13,450 to 15,890 miles) from Dione and at a Sun - Dione - spacecraft, or phase, angle of 154 degrees. Resolution in the original images ranges from 126 to 154 meters (413 to 505 feet) per pixel. The images have been re - sized to have an image scale of about 100 meters (330 feet) per pixel. North

Base on Titan - Illustration - Titan 2121: Departing blimp - Astronauts on a mining base on the surface of Titan. 100 years from now space exploration may have evolved to space exploitation on some very exotic worlds. Could it be possible that some day a natural resource of extraordinary value could be found on a world 700 million miles away? a resource that would justify an unprecedented investment in an infrastructure capable of bringing these resources to market? This image suggests how a large - scale mining operation on the surface of Saturn's moon Titan might appear

A brilliant flash of titanian lightning illuminates towering clouds of methane while human visitors retire to the safety and warmth of their landing craft. In January 2005, the European Space Agency's Huygens probe detected what may have been electrical discharges due to lightning when it descended through Titan's deep atmosphere (the probe also carried a microphone in hopes of recording the sound of thunder, however none was heard). While Titan's atmosphere may indeed host thunder and lightning, there's been no indication (yet) that there are earthlike cumulous clouds like the ones depicted here
