	Saturn's Moon Titan
		Titan [TY-tun] is the largest moon of Saturn and the second largest moon in the solar system, rivaled only by Jupiter's moon Ganymede.
		The glow of Titan's extensive atmosphere shines in false colors in this view of Saturn's gas-enshrouded moon acquired by the Cassini spacecraft visual and infrared mapping spectrometer during the July 2, 2004, flyby.
		This image of Titan was taken by the Pioneer 11 spacecraft on September 3, 1979 from a range of 3.6 million km.

	NASA's Solar System Exploration: Planets: Saturn: Moons: Titan
		Titan is of great interest to scientists because it is the only moon in the solar system known to have clouds and a mysterious, thick, planet-like atmosphere.
		Titan's atmospheric pressure is about 60 percent greater than Earth's - roughly the same pressure found at the bottom of a swimming pool.
		Titan's thick cloudy atmosphere is mostly nitrogen, like Earth's, but may contain much higher percentages of "smog-like" chemicals such as methane and ethane.

	NASA - Titan
		Titan is the largest satellite of the planet Saturn and the second largest satellite in the solar system.
		The temperature of Titan's surface is -290 degrees F (-179 degrees C).
		Titan's surface is almost entirely hidden by its atmosphere, a thick red haze that in some ways resembles the smog found on Earth.

	Titan Grabs World Attention
		Titan's patented and commercially proven recycling system recovers high grade fuel oil, steel, gas and carbon fl from scrap tires, of which, some 270,000,000 are discarded in the United States every year.
		Titan has recently announced that the carbon recovered, from its tire recycling plant, can be activated and will bring a much higher price sold as an absorbent to waste water treatment plants and as an absorbent used to filter metals from flue gasses emitted from coal fired power plants.
		Titan is actively educating those persons on the technology and benefits while also trying to educate the Secretary of Energy and members of the Congressional Energy Committee on the real economic benefit to the country of the production of these products that are in short supply.

	Space probe lands on Titan
		Ultraviolet rays from the Sun produce acetylene in Titan’s atmosphere, a compound that on Earth is a colorless, flammable gas.
		On Titan it is solid and falls down as particles, transferring solar energy to the ground where it can provide heat for chemical reactions.
		There seems to be no shortage of liquid on Titan, although most of it appears to be not water but methane, a substance that on Earth is a colorless, odorless gas, produced when living things decompose and commonly used as a fuel.

		Unlike the water-carved riverbeds on Earth, the channels on Titan were probably sculpted by liquid methane and ethane.
		A previous suggestion that the hydrocarbons methane and ethane on Titan collect in puddles and lakes "may be an oversimplification," cautions Soderblom.
		Titan resembles Earth not only in its topography but also because it is dynamic, he notes.

	SPACE.com -- Titan: A World that Never Grew Up
		WASHINGTON (AP) -- Data from the Cassini-Huygens spacecraft suggest that Titan, a moon of Saturn, is a world with the potential of life that was frozen in its youth, prevented by deep cold from ever developing into a livelier place.
		The minus 290 degree Fahrenheit temperature of Titan prevented the chemical reactions that are thought to have occurred on Earth, possibly leading to the evolution of life, said Owen, one of a group of researchers presenting papers on Titan at the national meeting of the American Association for the Advancement of Science.
		Ice appears to form the bedrock of Titan, he said, and there is some suggestion of cryovolcanoes, volcanic-like vents that spew forth ice instead of lava.

	New Scientist Breaking News - Titan's complex and strange world revealed
		Two days after Cassini's close encounter with Titan captured the first ever close-up images, it is becoming clear that Saturn's giant moon is a complex and strange world.
		"Titan is an extremely dynamic and active place," says Jonathan Lunine at the Jet Propulsion Laboratory in California, an interdisciplinary scientist with the Cassini mission.
		Titan's streaks are all aligned roughly the same way, trending east-west, so wind seems the most likely cause, according to Alfred McEwen at the University of Arizona, Tucson, US.

		"Titan is perhaps the most Earth-like place in the Solar System other than Earth, in terms of the balance of processes," says Jonathan Lunine, of the University of Arizona, US, who is an interdisciplinary scientist for Cassini-Huygens.
		Jupiter's moon Ganymede, the closest of the three to the Sun, is similar in size to Titan, but lacks the methane and nitrogen that drive liquid processes on the Saturnian moon: "It's a kind of baked out version of Titan," said Lunine.
		In December, it released the piggybacked Huygens probe on a collision course with Titan.

	SPACE.com -- Huygens Probe Returns First Images of Titan's Surface
		The ravines, stubby drainage-like channels, appeared to funnel toward what appeared to be a shoreline, researchers said during their initial reactions to the image.
		Huygens was originally expected to send more than 700 pictures taken during its 2.5-hour descent to the Titan surface, but one of the two communications channels on the satellite apparently malfunctioned, cutting by about half the number of images received by NASA's orbiting Cassini satellite and relayed to mission control here.
		While the redundant transmission channel is not working properly, only one of the probe's six instruments - a Doppler tool to study Titan's winds - is dependent solely on that channel and may be compensated for by data from ground-based observations, mission scientists said.

	Cassini Images of Titan Reveal an Active, Earthlike World
		Titan, long held to be a frozen analog of early Earth, has liquid methane on its cold surface, unlike the water found on our home planet.
		Since most of the cloud activity observed on Titan by Cassini has occurred over the south pole, scientists believe this may be where the cycle of methane rain, channel carving, runoff, and evaporation is most active, a hypothesis that could explain the presence of the extensive channel-like features seen in this region.
		These results are based on Cassini orbiter images of Titan collected over the last eight months during a distant flyby of the south pole and three close encounters of Titan's equatorial region.
