Saturn's Moons Dione and Titan from Cassini
This view with two of Saturn's more famous moons, Dione and Titan, in gibbous phase was captured last month by the robot spacecraft Cassini, now orbiting Saturn. Titan, on the left, is among the largest moons in the Solar System and is perpetually shrouded in clouds. In 2005, the Huygens probe landed on Titan and gave humanity its first view of its unusual surface.
