Resolution on Saturn 2: The Moons
Saturn has 15 moons made of supercooled ice. These moons have been shattered by meteorite and comet bombardment into mere piles of rubble, held together by their own gravity. The exception is Titan, one of the most bizarre places in the entire solar system. For Titan, shrouded in orange smog and red clouds, has an atmosphere thicker than the Earth's. NASA's Voyager 1 spacecraft flew less than 2,500 miles over the cloudtops of this alien world and discovered in its atmosphere the chemicals that are the building blocks of life.
