A couple of days ago the Cassini probe flew within 745 miles of Saturn’s moon Titan. This is the closest any probe has ever been to that moon. The Voyager probes showed only a hazy disk, but the new Cassini pictures reveal much more. Some scientists thing Titan might even be gealogically active.
I’m waiting with much anticipation for the Huygens probe’s plunge into Titan’s atmosphere. This should happen sometime in January, 2005.
