Titan: Moon over Saturn
Titan, Saturn's largest moon, is tidally locked to its planet, meaning one side always faces away from Saturn. This mosaic of images from the Cassini spacecraft shows that anti-Saturn side. Titan is the only moon in our solar system with a dense atmosphere and the only world besides Earth known to have standing liquid bodies and a cycle of rain and evaporation.
