Saturn Sky Red Line interior 2009 Saturn Sky. A Red Line model of the Sky was introduced on April 11, 2006 at the New York Auto Show.It uses the same 260 hp (194 kW) turbocharged Ecotec engine as the Pontiac Solstice, as well as the same standard 5-speed Aisin manual transmission.
HD 149026 b was the first of its kind: [20] HD 149026 b's low volume means that the planet is too dense for a Saturn-like gas giant of its mass and temperature. It may have an exceptionally large core composed of " metals ", or elements heavier than hydrogen and helium: [ 1 ] the initial theoretical models gave the core a mass of 70 times Earth ...
According to McKay et al., "the anti-greenhouse effect on Titan reduces the surface temperature by 9 K whereas the greenhouse effect increases it by 21 K. The net effect is that the surface temperature (94 K) is 12 K warmer than the effective temperature 82 K. [i.e., the equilibrium that would be reached in the absence of any atmosphere]" [3]
The dark dunes that run along the equator contain a volume of organics several hundred times larger than Earth's coal reserves. [2] Titan 'sea' (left) compared at scale to Lake Superior (right) Radar images obtained on July 21, 2006, appear to show lakes of liquid hydrocarbon (such as methane and ethane) in Titan's northern
J1407b is a substellar object, either a free-floating planet or brown dwarf, with a massive circumplanetary disk or ring system.It was first detected by automated telescopes in 2007 when its disk eclipsed the star V1400 Centauri, causing a series of dimming events for 56 days.
Weekend stargazers will be treated with stellar views of Saturn, the ringed jewel of the solar system, as it reaches its closest point to the Earth. On Sunday, Aug. 27, Saturn will reach ...
Huygens (/ ˈ h ɔɪ ɡ ən z / HOY-gənz) was an atmospheric entry robotic space probe that landed successfully on Saturn's moon Titan in 2005. Built and operated by the European Space Agency (ESA), launched by NASA, it was part of the Cassini–Huygens mission and became the first spacecraft to land on Titan and the farthest landing from Earth a spacecraft has ever made.

NASA's Cassini spacecraft sent back images looking over the shoulder of Saturn's rings. See more on Saturn's rings: No telescope on this planet would ever have been able to see this.
