Saturn above the thick atmosphere of its moon Titan.

Saturn is seen here in the background from the enigmatic moon Titan, which is the second largest moon in the solar system, with a diameter of about 5 150 km. It has a highly thick, orange atmosphere that covers the entire surface. There are many different kinds of carbohydrates in the atmosphere, but nitrogen is the dominant substance. Here you see a lake of ethane, and some freshly fallen ice on the surface. In actuality the atmosphere is so thick you would not be able to see Saturn this clearly.
