Saturn’s moon offers glimpse of Earth’s past

Cassini took many images of Titan over its 13 year mission at Saturn. The mission ended on 15 September 2017, when it plunged into Saturn’s atmosphere, but it’s data is still providing scientific insight. Image Credit: NASA/JPL-Caltech/ASI

Weather in the Solar System

Like Earth, Titan has an atmosphere, seen here as a hazy blue outline around the moon’s limb. But Cassini scientists have discovered another similarity between our planet and Saturn’s largest moon.To the upper left of Titan in this image taken by the Cassini spacecraft is Tethys, another of Saturn’s satellites.Credit: Cassini Imaging Team, ISS, JPL, ESA, NASA
