Saturn and its moons

By tanjacks

APOD (Astronomy Picture of the Day) has a real corker today.  It’s an image taken by the Cassini spacecraft of Saturn and some of its ring system and moons.  The planet has apparently undergone a change in some of its colours and the reason is not yet fully understood.

But see the big moon, Titan, above the rings?  That’s roughly 793 million miles or 1278 million kilometres away from Earth.  And we landed a probe there!
