Milpitas, CA (PRWEB) April 22, 2005 — In its closest flyby yet, the Cassini spacecraft with its Fairchild Imaging CCD sensors has captured new digital images of Saturn’s largest moon, Titan.

Today the NASA/ESA/ASI Cassini-Huygens spacecraft makes a fly-by of Saturn’s largest moon Titan – the closest ever performed. At the time of the closest approach, which is scheduled for… ...

The images were obtained with the Cassini spacecraft narrow-angle camera on May 21, 2011 at a distance of approximately 1.4 million miles (2.3 million kilometers) from Titan 2 million miles (3.2 ...

The dynamic atmosphere of Saturn's haze-enshrouded moon Titan is revealed in the first Cassini Imaging Team report on Titan, to appear in the March 10 issue of Nature.

All of these images were taken with the wide angle camera on April 16, 2005 from distances ranging from approximately 173,000 to 168,200 kilometers (107,500 to 104,500 miles) from Titan and from a ...

Lunine and other Huygens team members are still poring over the 219 minutes' worth of Titan images, and expect to learn more from the Cassini orbiter, which dropped off the probe last December and ...

Seven years ago, the Cassini mission ended when the spacecraft dramatically crashed into Saturn, but the data it collected is still delivering results, revealing the secrets of Titan's oceans.

New data from Cassini reveals Titan has canyons filled with liquid methane. Methane rainstorms fill enormous canyons, as winter comes to the south pole of Saturn's eerie hydrocarbon moon.

It took almost 7 years for Cassini to reach Saturn. Another smaller spacecraft called Huygens hitched a ride with Cassini, and it was dropped off at Saturn's moon Titan in 2005.

The Cassini-Huygens spacecraft showed us a new view of the Saturn system. But it took a long road to get there, from mission development to its launch 25 years ago.
