Amazing Voyage Vists Saturn's Moons

Flying to Saturn's moon Titan, takes us past the other intreging moons surrounding Saturn. I created the animation using still photos taken by the NASA/ESA Cassini-Huygens spacecraft mission. The Huygens part was a lander that detached from Cassini and landed on Titan, detecting the mysterious "tholins" as it rushed down through Titan's atmosphere. Titan is the same size as Earth and is the only moon in our solar system with a dense atmosphere. Tholins are an organic plasma that can dissolve into ammino acids when mixed with water. Ammino acids form all the proteins and peptids necessary for living creatures.
