  • Always look forward to your videos!

  • Way cool

  • dude I saw you on National Geographic

    I was like "he looks like a person I saw on youtube" lol

  • cool :)

  • are there any similar image sequences that show titan occulting another moon,  Saturn, or even the Sun? that would really show off titans atmosphere

  • More videos please!!!!!!!! Respectfully of course ;)

  • That is really cool, mind blowing stuff, the way you showed the coin and ball was a perfect way of describing what is happening... Many thanks !

  • My apologies if this has been asked already.

    Enceladus seems to be wobbling. Is that because of movement on Cassini's part, or is something else going on?

  • Does Titan appear to be moving faster because of its mass or orbital circumference?

  • I wish you're my Science Teacher. (sigh!)

  • I wonder if Phil is going to make a video about the Asteroid that passed Earth.

  • I share your utter, mind-blown joy to be alive to see the dawn of this kind of exploration.

    We are at the cusp of such greatness.

  • Awesome!

  • what is the dot that appears in frame 7,8 and 16? in the lower left and moves up to the top right? Is that another moon?

  • Thanks Phil!

    My eyes just traveled a billion kilometers! 8^D

  • Wow that's amazing!!!!! I love Phil Plait!

  • At first I thought you were talking about the ship "Titanic".

  • P'raps if all science teachers (nay all teachers) had your enthusiasm then the kids would take an interest and maybe, just maybe the planet can be saved. Look what happened to Skaro.

  • curse you Saturn! if it weren't for you, Titan would be a planet!

  • Oooooooo science

  • Comment removed

  • Enceledus looks like it's about the same size as Titan's atmosphere. Titan is truly amazing.

  • very good

  • consistently interesting videos. good work man

  • exciting explanation! like it! xD

  • That's no moon, that's a space - oh wait, it's a moon. :-)

    Very cool animation, and amazing indeed!

  • (wikid) Titan is big. It has 0.404 x Earths radius.

  • @CognosSquare True. also from wiki "Titan has a diameter roughly 50% larger than Earth's moon and is 80% more massive. It is the second-largest moon in the Solar System, after Jupiter's moon Ganymede, and it is larger by volume than the smallest planet, Mercury"

  • cool!!

  • Are those pictures just one of the color channels? Because I thought that Titan was red in visible light.

  • @T0B0KKE It's more like yellow...

  • @HKragh Yeah its redish yellow.

  • I love your geeky enthusiasm. It's contagious. =)

  • YAY MORE SCIENCE. I love science in the morning

  • great vid man. so a satellite of Saturn has a satellite, nowadays? Wow.
