Titan - Illustration - Saturn's satellite Titan - Artist's view of Titan, Saturn's largest satellite. Titan is Saturn's largest satellite and the second - largest satellite in the Solar System (just slightly smaller than Jupiter's Ganymede). Although Titan orbits Saturn, it is still larger than the planet Mercury and has the most substantial atmosphere of any satellite in the Solar System

Tethys and Titan, Saturn satellites - Tethys and Titan - The Tethys satellite passes behind the Titan satellite. These images were taken 18 minutes apart (the first image taken is on the right) by the Cassini probe on 26 November 2009 at a distance of 1 million km from Titan and 2.2 million km from Tethys. Saturn's moon Tethys with its prominent Odysseus Crater silently slips behind Saturn's largest moon Titan and then emerges on the other side. Tethys is not actually enshrouded in Titan's atmosphere. Tethys (1,062 kilometers, or 660 miles across) is more than twice as far from Cassini than Titan (5,150 kilometers, or 3,200 miles across) in this sequence. Tethys is 2.2 million kilometers (1.4 million miles) from Cassini. Titan is about 1 million kilometers (621,000 miles) away. These two color views were captured about 18 minutes apart, with the view on the right taking place first. These images are part of a mutual event sequence in which one moon passes close to or in front of anothe

Titan, Saturn satellite seen by Cassini - Titan near Saturn seen by Cassini spacecraft - Natural color image of Titan near Saturn blade taken by the Cassini probe on 29 January 2008 at a distance of about 2.3 million km from the satellite. Swathed in its thick blanket of atmosphere, frigid Titan approaches the brilliant limb of Saturn. Images taken using red, green and blue spectral filters were combined to create this natural color view. The images were acquired with the Cassini spacecraft narrow - angle camera on Jan. 29, 2008 at a distance of approximately 2.3 million kilometers (1.4 million miles) from Titan. Image scale is 14 kilometers (8 miles) per pixel

Saturn and Titan - Illustration - Saturn from Titan orbit - The planet Saturn seen from the orbit of its Titan satellite. This is how Saturn and Titan might look from a position in orbit around Titan. While in reality Saturn is vastly larger than Titan, it appears smaller here because Titan's orbit puts Saturn at a distance of about 700 thousand miles. Sunlight filtering through Titan's upper atmospheric haze - - extending over 300 miles above the surface - - gives a bluish cast to its limb

Saturn seen from its satellite Japet - Saturn from Iapetus - The planet Saturn accompanied by three satellites (from left to right Tethys, Rhea and Dione) seen from the icy surface of Japet. In this image Saturn dominates Iapetus' velvet black sky framed by three inner moons. Left to right are Tethys, Rhea and Dione. Less than half the size of the Earth's moon, ice - covered Iapetus is one of the few places in the Solar System that offers a good view of Saturn's rings. This is because Iapetus' orbit is inclined almost 15 degrees to Saturn's equator. With the exception of Phoebe, none of Saturn's other satellites offer such a vantage point. Unlike haze - shrouded Titan, Iapetus has no atmosphere to speak of and is believed to be composed almost entirely of water ice

Astronauts on Titan - Illustration - First steps on Titan - Astronauts explore Titan's surface. Perhaps some day in the far future humans will set foot on Saturn's mysterious moon Titan, one of the most interesting worlds in the Solar System. Larger than the planet Mercury, Earth's moon, and the dwarf planet Pluto, and second only in size to Jupiter's satellite Ganymede, Titan is the only known extraterrestrial world with a dense atmosphere that realistically could be visited by humans. A visit to Titan would require a space journey of a year or more and traverse over 700 million miles. Beneath Titan's 350 miles of atmosphere, intrepid explorers would likely find a dark, forbidding landscape of rock, ice, and possibly tarry layers of hydrocarbons and lakes of liquid ethane and/or methane (AKA natural gas). The Surface temperature would be around minus 300* F, cold enough to freeze exposed human tissue within seconds. There would be no oxygen to breathe, and any water to be found would

While there is one large lake and a few smaller ones near Titan's south pole, almost all of Titan's lakes appear near the moon's north pole - Scientists mapped near-infrared colors onto the visible color spectrum. Red in this image was assigned a wavelength of 5 microns (10 times longer than visible light), green 2.0 microns (four times longer than visible light), and blue 1.3 microns (2.6 times longer than visible light) - The orange

Rhea, satellite of Saturn, seen by Cassini - Saturn's moon Rhea seen by Cassini - Mosaic of images obtained by the Cassini probe in March 2015. Rhea is the second largest satellite in Saturn (1528 km in diameter). After a couple of years in high - inclination orbits that limited its ability to encounter Saturn's moons, Nasa's Cassini spacecraft returned to Saturn's equatorial plane in March 2015.Image taken using clear, green, infrared and ultraviolet spectral filters were combined to create these enhanced color views, which offer an expanded range of the colors visible to human eyes in order to highlight subtle color differences across Rhea's surface. The moon's surface is fairly uniform in natural color.This view at right is centered at 9 degrees north latitude, 254 degrees west longitude. Resolution in this mosaic is 300 meters (984 feet) per pixel. The image was acquired at a distance that ranged from about 36,000 to 32.100 miles (57,900 to 51,700 kilometers) from Rhea

Saturn view of the surroundings of Dione - Illustration - Saturn from the vicinity of Dione - The planet Saturn seen from the surroundings of its satellite Dione. Dione, visible in the foreground, has a diameter of about 1100 km and is mainly composed of ice. In the background, another Saturn ice satellite is visible, Tethys. This is how Saturn might appear from near Dione, one of Saturn's inner icy satellites. Dione is about 700 miles in diameter and is believed to be composed primarily of water ice along with lesser amounts of silicate rocks. In this image, Dione is in the foreground orbiting about 197 thousand miles above Saturn's cloud tops. Further towards Saturn at a distance of 50 thousand miles from Dione is Tethys, another icy moon, slightly smaller than Dione. Tethys is silhouetted against the “” ring shine”” on Saturn's night side - - reflected sunlight on the cloud tops from Saturn's rings

Saturn and Mimas seen by the Cassini probe 18/01/2005 - Saturn and Mimas seen by Cassini spacecraft Jan. 18 2005 - The Mimas satellite photographed in front of Saturn by the Cassini probe on 18 January 2005 at a distance of 1.4 million km from the planet. The shadow of Saturn's rings is projected on the planet. Mimas drifts along in its orbit against the azure backdrop of Saturn's northern latitudes in this true color view. The long, dark lines on the atmosphere are shadows cast by the planet's rings. Saturn's northern hemisphere is presently relatively cloud - free, and rays of sunlight take a long path through the atmosphere. This results in sunlight being scattered at shorter (bluer) wavelengths, thus giving the northernmost latitudes their bluish appearance at visible wavelengths. At the bottom, craters on icy Mimas (398 kilometers, or 247 miles across) give the moon a dimpled appearance. Images taken using infrared (930 nanometers), green (568 nanometers) and ultraviolet (338 nano

Japet, satellite of Saturn, seen by Cassini - Saturn's moon Iapetus seen by Cassini spacecraft - Comparison of the two hemispheres of Japet, a satellite of Saturn of 1471 kilometres in diameter. Its main feature is the color difference between the two hemispheres. On the left, the dark region called Cassini Regio with to the east the largest crater of Japet, named Turgis (580 km in diameter). On the right, the bright side of the satellite with Roncevaux Terra (north) and Saragossa Terra (south) housing the large impact crater Engelier (504 km in diameter). Both images were obtained by the Cassini probe on 10 September 2007 (right) and 27 December 2004 (left). These two global images of Iapetus show the extreme brightness dichotomy on the surface of this peculiar Saturnian moon. The left - hand panel shows the moon's leading hemisphere and the right - hand panel shows the moon's trailing side.

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.
