Cassini image of Titan. Credit: Scientific Institute of NASA/JPL-Caltech/spaceHere's a very nice image of the Moon seen from Cassini, Saturn's Titan. Crop a landscape picture it rings of Saturn.
One of the reasons I liked this picture is looking very nice dark areas on the Moon, our normal view is shrouded in cloud. This view is possible because the camera in use light spectral type filter sensitive near-infrared cuts through the clouds.
Titan is an amazing place. The Moon is about half again as big as our Moon, 80 percent more massive, larger mercury actually is though mercury with its reverse cool up there almost double mass Titan. The only moon with an atmosphere much and besides the Earth is the only place we know so far holding stable bodies of liquid surface. The Moon is much too cold liquid water, methane rain instead. Life can exist iasion and/or its methane seas? Can be, although likely to be long before we find out. Life there would be very cool.
