A Portrait of Saturn from Titan
Illustration Credit: ESA, NASA
This artistic portrait of Saturn depicts how it might look from Titan, Saturn's largest moon. In the foreground sits ESA's Huygens probe, which will be released by NASA's Cassini spacecraft and parachute to Titan's surface. Cassini will reach Saturn in 2004 and release the Huygens probe later that year. Titan is one of only two moons in the Solar System to have an atmosphere. It has been suggested Titan might have gasoline-like lakes and an atmospheric chemistry like that found on early Earth. The Cassini spacecraft was launched in October 1997 and has now traveled beyond Jupiter.

Not a bad drawing Wet1, have you posted that blue piccy of the saturn storm yet? That's my favourite.

Have you been to this site yet? Really good collection by NASA I think.

Thank you, John, I usually plunder the archives but that is a little better layout.

Acctually the blue one might be neptune, the saturn storm was in yellow come to think of it.

My other favourite sites are hubble and Chandra. Chandra had a star spotting competition, not sure if it's over yet I posted links on the SSSF.


Have you heard about the planets yet?

Still can't find the Saturn storm, here is an Aurora on Saturn.

Have you seen the Aurora on Jupiter and the tracks left in the aurora by Jupiters moons?

Have a look at the index on the home page.
