Science News Article | Reuters.com:
I can't wait to see pictures of Saturn! The Cassini(the first spacecraft to orbit Saturn) launch back in 1997 was filled with controversy. Cassini had to be launched with the use of plutonium to give it the extra speed boost to reach Saturn faster. It's just amazing, a project launched almost 7 years ago can now be realized and appreciated by the whole world with the arrival of the first images on July 1, 2004 (Thursday)! Titan is one of the 31 moons hovering around Saturn which has a dense nitrogen-methane atmosphere and evidence of complex carbon chemistry, perhaps resembling conditions on early Earth. Titan is believed to have vast amount of water bodies/oceans.
