Exploring Titan: Discoveries and Mysteries

Cassini's mission observed Saturn's moon Titan, revealing fewer methane clouds and a faster-moving atmosphere than its rotation, similar to Venus. The surface appears flat with no shadows, and imaging showed linear features and potential hydrocarbons. A radar observation revealed a wide geological variety, with bright and dark areas indicating different terrains. Titan is described as active and youthful, with unique features and possible organic materials. A large, dark area suggests a fluid surface, humorously dubbed 'CC the Halloween Cat'. Cassini will revisit Titan in December.
