2. In Depth | Saturn Moons – NASA Solar System Exploration

   solarsystem.nasa.gov/moons/saturn-moons/in-depth.amp

   Haze-enshrouded Titan is Saturn’s largest moon and the solar system’s second-largest, and an all-around exceptional place. Titan is the only known world other than Earth where any sort of liquid collects on its surface.

3. In Depth | Titan – NASA Solar System Exploration

   solarsystem.nasa.gov/moons/saturn-moons/titan/in-depth.amp

   Saturn's largest moon, Titan, is an icy world whose surface is completely obscured by a golden hazy atmosphere. Titan is the second largest moon in our solar system. Only Jupiter's moon Ganymede is larger, by just 2 percent.

4. In Depth | Saturn – NASA Solar System Exploration

   solarsystem.nasa.gov/planets/saturn/in-depth.amp

   Saturn has 83 moons. Sixty-three moons are confirmed and named, and another 20 moons are awaiting confirmation of discovery and official naming by the International Astronomical Union (IAU). This Cassini image from 2012 shows Titan and its host planet Saturn. Image Credit: NASA/JPL-Caltech/SSI.

5. A Tour of Saturn's Moons – NASA Solar System Exploration

   solarsystem.nasa.gov/news/13069

   Unusual arc-shaped, reddish streaks cut across the surface of Saturn's ice-rich moon Tethys in this enhanced-color mosaic. The red streaks are narrow, curved lines on the moon's surface, only a few miles wide but several hundred miles long. Scientists don't know what causes them.

6. In Depth | Moons – NASA Solar System Exploration

   solarsystem.nasa.gov/moons/in-depth.amp

   In the outer solar system, the gas giants Jupiter and Saturn and the ice giants Uranus and Neptune have dozens of moons. As these planets grew in the early solar system, they were able to capture smaller objects with their large gravitational fields.

7. In Depth | Enceladus – NASA Solar System Exploration

   solarsystem.nasa.gov/moons/saturn-moons/enceladus/in-depth.amp

   Few worlds in our solar system are as compelling as Saturn’s icy ocean moon Enceladus. A handful of worlds are thought to have liquid water oceans beneath their frozen shell, but Enceladus sprays its ocean out into space where a spacecraft can sample it.

8. Saturn | Science – NASA Solar System Exploration

   solarsystem.nasa.gov/missions/cassini-hds/science/saturn

   During NASA's Cassini mission's final distant encounter with Saturn's giant moon Titan, the spacecraft captured the enigmatic moon's north polar landscape of lakes and seas, which are filled with liquid methane and ethane.

9. Titan | Science – NASA Solar System Exploration

   solarsystem.nasa.gov/missions/cassini-hds/science/titan

   The colorful globe of Saturn's largest moon, Titan, passes in front of the planet and its rings in this true color snapshot from NASA's Cassini spacecraft.

10. Overview | Cassini – NASA Solar System Exploration

    solarsystem.nasa.gov/missions/cassini-hds/overview

    Cassini revealed in great detail the true wonders of Saturn, a giant world ruled by raging storms and delicate harmonies of gravity. Cassini carried a passenger to the Saturn system, the European Huygens probe—the first human-made object to land on a world in the distant outer solar system.

11. Saturn's Moons: What a Difference a Decade Makes

    solarsystem.nasa.gov/news/12793/saturns-moons-what-a-difference-a-decade-makes

    The most obvious are differences in color and brightness between the two hemispheres of Tethys, Dione and Rhea. The dark reddish colors on the moons' trailing hemispheres are due to alteration by charged particles and radiation in Saturn's magnetosphere.
