Cassini's Photos Revealed of Saturn's Moon Titan as a World Like No Other
For thirteen years, from 2004 to 2017, the Cassini-Huygens mission conducted a detailed survey of the Saturn system, fundamentally altering our understanding of gas giants and their satellites.
The mission revealed surprising details about Saturn's largest moon, Titan, which is almost 50% bigger than Earth’s moon, with a diameter of 3,200 miles.
Saturn's ring system, once thought to be relatively placid, was shown to be remarkably dynamic, composed of over 99% water ice, with ring particles ranging in size from micrometers to tens of meters.
Titan is a unique world, distinct from other satellites, and its study has provided significant insights into the Saturn system.
