The Sirens of Titan!
(With apologies to Kurt Vonnegut)
The Cassini-Huygens Probe has just touched down on Titan, the satellite of the planet, Saturn, and it's beaming back some fabulous pics of this otherwise-unchartered moon. Once piercing the thick Titan atmosphere, the probe began its round of taking pictures of the Titan surface and the scientific data is now being analysed to determine the history of this extraordinary satellite. The NASA site is a bit busy with Cassini enthusiasts accessing data for the present, but if you're patient, this story as it unfolds is well worth the wait.
