Tethys and Titan, Saturn satellites - Tethys and Titan - The Tethys satellite passes behind the Titan satellite. These images were taken 18 minutes apart (the first image taken is on the right) by the Cassini probe on 26 November 2009 at a distance of 1 million km from Titan and 2.2 million km from Tethys. Saturn's moon Tethys with its prominent Odysseus Crater silently slips behind Saturn's largest moon Titan and then emerges on the other side. Tethys is not actually enshrouded in Titan's atmosphere. Tethys (1,062 kilometers, or 660 miles across) is more than twice as far from Cassini than Titan (5,150 kilometers, or 3,200 miles across) in this sequence. Tethys is 2.2 million kilometers (1.4 million miles) from Cassini. Titan is about 1 million kilometers (621,000 miles) away. These two color views were captured about 18 minutes apart, with the view on the right taking place first. These images are part of a mutual event sequence in which one moon passes close to or in front of anothe

Saturn and Titan - Illustration - Saturn from Titan orbit - The planet Saturn seen from the orbit of its Titan satellite. This is how Saturn and Titan might look from a position in orbit around Titan. While in reality Saturn is vastly larger than Titan, it appears smaller here because Titan's orbit puts Saturn at a distance of about 700 thousand miles. Sunlight filtering through Titan's upper atmospheric haze - - extending over 300 miles above the surface - - gives a bluish cast to its limb

Titan, Saturn satellite seen by Cassini - Titan near Saturn seen by Cassini spacecraft - Natural color image of Titan near Saturn blade taken by the Cassini probe on 29 January 2008 at a distance of about 2.3 million km from the satellite. Swathed in its thick blanket of atmosphere, frigid Titan approaches the brilliant limb of Saturn. Images taken using red, green and blue spectral filters were combined to create this natural color view. The images were acquired with the Cassini spacecraft narrow - angle camera on Jan. 29, 2008 at a distance of approximately 2.3 million kilometers (1.4 million miles) from Titan. Image scale is 14 kilometers (8 miles) per pixel

Enceladus, Saturn's satellite, seen by Cassini - Saturn's moon Enceladus from Cassini - Mosaic of false-coloured images obtained by the Cassini probe during the flight over this satellite on 11 August 2008. The image shows a fractured region in the southern hemisphere of the satellite. This mosaic of Saturn's moon Enceladus provides broad regional context for the ultra - sharp, close - up views Nasa's Cassini spacecraft acquired minutes earlier, during its flyby on Aug. 11, 2008.

Titan's ocean would not be one of water, rather it would probably be composed of (very cold) liquid ethane. (On the Earth we know ethane as a colorless, odorless, nontoxic, flammable gas, a constituent of natural gas and petroleum.)

Saturn above the clouds of Titan - Illustration - Saturn from atop Titan's hydrocarbon haze - Artist's view of the planet Saturn view 80 km above the surface of his satellite Titan. In the plane of the rings of the planet appear from left to right the satellites Enceladus, Dione, Tethys and Rhea. Saturn and its rings would be a majestic sight lording over Titan's hydrocarbon haze. The viewpoint is from 50 miles above Titan's surface and three - quarters of a million miles away from Saturn itself.

Saturn and Mimas seen by the Cassini probe 18/01/2005 - Saturn and Mimas seen by Cassini spacecraft Jan. 18 2005 - The Mimas satellite photographed in front of Saturn by the Cassini probe on 18 January 2005 at a distance of 1.4 million km from the planet. The shadow of Saturn's rings is projected on the planet. Mimas drifts along in its orbit against the azure backdrop of Saturn's northern latitudes in this true color view. The long, dark lines on the atmosphere are shadows cast by the planet's rings. Saturn's northern hemisphere is presently relatively cloud - free, and rays of sunlight take a long path through the atmosphere. This results in sunlight being scattered at shorter (bluer) wavelengths, thus giving the northernmost latitudes their bluish appearance at visible wavelengths. At the bottom, craters on icy Mimas (398 kilometers, or 247 miles across) give the moon a dimpled appearance. Images taken using infrared (930 nanometers), green (568 nanometers) and ultraviolet (338 nano

Titan, Saturn satellite seen by Cassini: Visible and infrared composite image of Titan taken by the Cassini probe on September 12, 2013. View of methane and ethane lakes. - This false-color mosaic, made from infrared data collected by Nasa's Cassini spacecraft, reveals the differences in the composition of surface materials around hydrocarbon lakes at Titan, Saturn's largest moon. Titan is the only other place in the solar system that we know has stable liquid on its surface, though its lakes are made of liquid ethane and methane rather than liquid water. While there is one large lake and a few smaller ones near Titan's south pole, almost all of Titan's lakes appear near the moon's north pole - Scientists mapped near-infrared colors onto the visible color spectrum. Red in this image was assigned a wavelength of 5 microns (10 times longer than visible light), green 2.0 microns (four times longer than visible light), and blue 1.3 microns (2.6 times longer than visible light) - The orange

Saturn view of Enceladus - Illustration - Saturn from the surface of Enceladus - The planet Saturn seen from the ice surface of Enceladus. This is how Saturn may appear from the icy surface of Enceladus, one of Saturn's eight major satellites. At a distance of 148 thousand miles, Saturn would subtend an angle of 29o in Enceladus' sky, about the same width as 58 Earth moon's lined up side - by - side. While the surface of Enceladus is as reflective as new fallen snow, it would probably appear leaden about an hour before sunrise with a crescent Saturn as the only source of illumination. Like all of Saturn's major satellites, Enceladus always keeps the same side facing its host planet. From the perspective of a stationary observer on Enceladus, Saturn would always appear in the same position in the sky, cycling through its phases in about one - and - half Earth days. This image also illustrates a phenomenon only recently discovered by Nasa's Cassini probe: sunlight reflecting off of Satur

Japet, satellite of Saturn, seen by Cassini - Saturn's moon Iapetus seen by Cassini spacecraft - Comparison of the two hemispheres of Japet, a satellite of Saturn of 1471 kilometres in diameter. Its main feature is the color difference between the two hemispheres. On the left, the dark region called Cassini Regio with to the east the largest crater of Japet, named Turgis (580 km in diameter). On the right, the bright side of the satellite with Roncevaux Terra (north) and Saragossa Terra (south) housing the large impact crater Engelier (504 km in diameter). Both images were obtained by the Cassini probe on 10 September 2007 (right) and 27 December 2004 (left). These two global images of Iapetus show the extreme brightness dichotomy on the surface of this peculiar Saturnian moon. The left - hand panel shows the moon's leading hemisphere and the right - hand panel shows the moon's trailing side. While low and mid latitudes of the leading side exhibit a surface almost as dark as charcoal,

It is not known what lies beneath Titan's obscuring haze.* What is known is that Titan's atmosphere is one - and - a - half times as dense as the Earth's at sea level, and its composition is roughly 90% nitrogen and 10% other complex molecules such as methane (compare this to the Earth's atmosphere which is 78% nitrogen and 20% oxygen). Sadly, Titan's thick haze would make it unlikely that a visitor to Titan's surface could look up into the sky and see Saturn itself, but what the heck.
