This frame from a colorized flyover movie from NASA Cassini mission shows the two largest seas on Saturn moon Titan and nearby lakes. The liquid in Titan lakes and seas is mostly methane and ethane.

This image, which at first appears to show a serene scene, in fact reveals dramatic disturbances created in Saturn A ring by its moon Daphnis as seen by NASA Cassini spacecraft.
Ver en NASA ↗This image is from an animation that glides along the shoreline of Ontario Lacus, the largest lake on the southern hemisphere of Saturn moon Titan. The animation is based on overlapping radar images obtained by NASA Cassini spacecraft.
Ver en NASA ↗NASA Cassini spacecraft looks toward Saturn largest moon, Titan, and spies the huge Kraken Mare in the moon north. Kraken Mare, a large sea of liquid hydrocarbons, is visible as a dark area near the top of the image.
Ver en NASA ↗It difficult not to think of an egg when looking at Saturn moon Methone, seen here during NASA Cassini flyby of the small moon. The relatively smooth surface adds to the effect created by the oblong shape.
Ver en NASA ↗Dione shadow is elongated as it is cast onto the round shape of Saturn in this image taken by NASA Cassini spacecraft. The moon is not visible here. This view looks toward the northern, sunlit side of the rings from just above the ringplane.
Ver en NASA ↗From just below the plane of Saturn rings, NASA Cassini spacecraft looks at the rings edge-on and sees the planet second largest moon beyond. Although Rhea may appear to be in the foreground of this image, it is not.
Ver en NASA ↗NASA Cassini spacecraft obtained these false-color images of a circular feature in a region known as Xanadu on Saturn moon Titan. The images show Titan in infrared wavelengths of radiation.
Ver en NASA ↗This global digital map of Saturn moon Titan was created using images taken by NASA Cassini spacecraft imaging science subsystem ISS. Because of the scattering of light by Titan dense atmosphere, no topographic shading is visible here.
Ver en NASA ↗Saturn moon Rhea looms over a smaller and more distant Epimetheus against a striking background of planet and rings. The two moons arent actually close to each other.
Ver en NASA ↗The shadow of Saturn moon Mimas is elongated across the planet in this image from NASA Cassini spacecraft. The moon itself is not shown, but the shadow appears just above the ringplane on the right of the image.
Ver en NASA ↗The south polar region of Saturn active, icy moon Enceladus awaits NASA Cassini spacecraft in this view, acquired on approach to the mission deepest-ever dive through the moon plume of icy spray.
Ver en NASA ↗Saturn moon Daphnis, appearing as a tiny speck in the Keeler Gap of the A ring on the far right of this NASA Cassini spacecraft image, is almost lost among the moon attendant edge waves.
Ver en NASA ↗NASA Cassini spacecraft spies a fan in Saturn tenuous F ring. This fan-like structure appears as dark lines spreading outward from the left of the bright clump of ring material near the center of the image.
Ver en NASA ↗This is a montage of planetary images taken by spacecraft managed by NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory in Pasadena, CA. Included are from top to bottom images of Mercury, Venus, Earth and Moon, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus and Neptune.
Ver en NASA ↗Saturn moon Prometheus orbits near some of its handiwork in the F ring in this image from NASA Cassini spacecraft. Prometheus and its partner Pandora gravitationally sculpt and maintain the narrow F ring.
Ver en NASA ↗This artist concept shows a possible model of Titan internal structure that incorporates data from NASA Cassini spacecraft. A model of Cassini is shown making a targeted flyby over Titan cloudtops; Saturn and Enceladus appear at upper right.
Ver en NASA ↗NASA Cassini spacecraft looks toward the dark side of Saturn largest moon as a circle of light is produced by sunlight scattering through the periphery of Titan atmosphere. A detached, high-altitude global haze layer encircles the moon.
Ver en NASA ↗The small moon Mimas passes in front of the larger moon Rhea which is partly obscured by Saturn rings in this image from NASA Cassini spacecraft. Go to the Photojournal to view the animation.
Ver en NASA ↗At first glance, Saturn rings appear to be intersecting themselves in an impossible way. In actuality, this view from NASA Cassini spacecraft shows the rings in front of the planet, upon which the shadow of the rings is cast.
Ver en NASA ↗Long shadows stretch away from the towering edge waves created by the gravity of the moon Daphnis in this image taken by NASA Cassini spacecraft a little more than a week before Saturn August 2009 equinox.
Ver en NASA ↗A brilliant spot of sunlight, the opposition effect, travels outward across the rings as the Cassini spacecraft orbits Saturn. This surge in ring brightness is created around the point directly opposite the Sun from the spacecraft
Ver en NASA ↗Alternating light and dark bands, extending a great distance across Saturn’s D and C rings taken by NASA Cassini spacecraft one month before the planet’s August 2009 equinox.
Ver en NASA ↗Hemispheric color differences on Saturn moon Rhea are apparent in this false-color view from NASA Cassini spacecraft. This image shows the side of the moon that always faces the planet.
