                              Titan: Moon over Saturn   
             Image Credit: NASA, JPL-Caltech, Space Science Institute   
      
      Explanation: Like Earth's moon, Saturn's largest moon Titan is locked   
      in synchronous rotation. This mosaic of images recorded by the Cassini   
      spacecraft in May of 2012 shows its anti-Saturn side, the side always   
      facing away from the ringed gas giant. The only moon in the solar   
      system with a dense atmosphere, Titan is the only solar system world   
      besides Earth known to have standing bodies of liquid on its surface   
      and an earthlike cycle of liquid rain and evaporation. Its high   
      altitude layer of atmospheric haze is evident in the Cassini view of   
      the 5,000 kilometer diameter moon over Saturn's rings and cloud tops.   
      Near center is the dark dune-filled region known as Shangri-La. The   
      Cassini-delivered Huygens probe rests below and left of center, after   
      the most distant landing for a spacecraft from Earth.
