Explanation:
This artistic portrait [ http://sci.esa.int/…searchresult.cfm?aid =12&cid=387&ooid=184 25 ] of Saturn [ http://www.otenet.g…saturday.html ] depicts how it might look from Titan [ http://www.seds.org…titan.html ], Saturn's largest moon. In the foreground sits ESA's Huygens probe [ http://sci.esa.int/…], which will be released by NASA's Cassini spacecraft [ http://www.jpl.nasa…] and parachute to Titan's surface. Cassini will [ http://www.jpl.nasa…] reach Saturn in 2004 and release the Huygens probe [ http://www.jpl.nasa…probe.html ] later that year. Titan [ http://antwrp.gsfc.…] is one of only two moons in the Solar System [ http://space.jpl.na…] to have an atmosphere. It has been suggested Titan might have gasoline-like lakes and an atmospheric chemistry like that [ http://www.llnl.gov…] found on early Earth. The Cassini spacecraft was launched in October 1997 [ http://antwrp.gsfc.…] and has now traveled beyond Jupiter [ http://antwrp.gsfc.…].
