The Cassini spacecraft is making today a closer approach towards Titan, the moon from Saturn that has not ceased to fascinate astronomers. The probe is expected to be roughly 1,200 km from Titan's surface and will be hopefully able to penetrate the satellite's dense orange haze. Later, in January 2005, the Huygens probe is expected to be released from Cassini and enter Titan's atmosphere, carrying out various science tasks right at the surface - if it can survive the landing. NASA will be releasing new photos as they become available via the following link.
