Saturn from its moon Titan
Saturn from Titan. Artwork of the planet Saturn, viewed from above its largest moon Titan. Titans surface is ice and rock, but it has a thick atmosphere of nitrogen and organic compounds, mainly methane and ethane. This gives the moon its characteristic orange colour. The atmosphere may resemble that of a primitive Earth, containing the organic compounds from which life originated. Saturn is the second largest of the planets in the solar system, having a diameter in excess of 120, 000 kilometres. It is the sixth most distant planet from the Sun

EDITORS COMMENTS
This artwork showcases the breathtaking view of Saturn as seen from its largest moon, Titan. The image captures the essence of this distant celestial body, with Titan's icy and rocky surface contrasting against its vibrant orange atmosphere. This thick atmospheric layer consists mainly of nitrogen and organic compounds like methane and ethane, lending Titan its characteristic hue. The similarities between Titan's atmosphere and that of a primitive Earth are striking. It is believed that these organic compounds could potentially be the building blocks for life, making this intriguing moon an object of great interest to scientists studying the origins of life in our universe. Saturn itself is a colossal planet, ranking as the second largest in our solar system with a diameter exceeding 120,000 kilometers. Its majestic presence dominates this artwork, reminding us of the vastness and beauty found within our cosmic neighborhood. Through this mesmerizing illustration by Science Photo Library, we are transported to a world far beyond our reach yet filled with wonders waiting to be discovered. The intricate details captured in this print invite us to ponder on the mysteries hidden within Saturn's rings and explore the possibilities presented by its enigmatic moon, Titan.
