This artist's conception shows Titan's surface with Saturn appearing dimly 
in the background through Titan's thick atmosphere of mostly nitrogen and 
methane. The Cassini spacecraft flies overhead with its high-gain antenna 
pointed at the Huygens probe as it nears the surface. <BR><BR>Titan's surface may 
hold lakes of liquid ethane and methane, sprinkled over a thin veneer of 
frozen methane and ammonia. Most of the brownish-orange color comes from 
more heavily processed hydrocarbons present in Titan's atmosphere and on 
its surface. Artistic license has been used to exaggerate the size of the 
orbiter, the sharpness of the icy features, the tilt of Saturn's rings, and 
the visibility of the planet through Titan's atmosphere.<BR><BR>
