Temperatures at the cloud tops are a frigid -218ºF...

Larger than Mercury and Pluto, Titan would be a perfectly respectable planet if it were orbiting the sun instead of Saturn. Its dense atmosphere is made of organic materials like methane and ethane, strikingly similar to our own atmosphere before life emerged. Since Titan's surface temperature approaches -300ºF, the moon almost certainly does not sustain life, but studying it can give scientists a peek at a sort of cryopreserved version of Earth long...
...Saturn's moons The Saturnian system has 31 known moons. During its 76 orbits, Cassini will fly by nine of them. Planet-size Titan, with its organic atmosphere, will be visited at least 45 times...
