The First Real Images of Titan - What Have We Discovered?

The planet Titan is probably the most curious and fascinating object in our solar system. It has a number of extremely strange properties, looks breathtakingly beautiful, and has captivated scientists since its discovery in 1655—but let’s leave it to you to be enchanted by this planet...

Titan is the largest moon of Saturn and the second largest in the solar system (after Ganymede, a moon orbiting the planet Jupiter). It is the only moon in the solar system with clouds and a dense, planet-like atmosphere. Scientists believe that conditions on Titan are similar to those in the early years of Earth (the main difference being that Earth has always been warmer because it is closer to the Sun).
