SATURN SPECIAL:
RINGING IN THE CHANGES
Saturn is the jewel of the solar system. Its beautiful rings make
the second largest planet unique. Together with its diverse
collection of moons and unusual magnetic field, they put the entire
planetary system high on space scientists' itinerary to explore. And
now we are getting the chance. The Cassini spacecraft arrived at
Saturn 18 months ago after a seven-year journey. It is armed with a
massive arsenal of instruments that cannot help but batter answers
out of Saturn. And so far it has not disappointed: Cassini has
already scrutinised many facets of this marvellous world and is
overturning much of what we thought we knew about it...

Saturn's rings are among the greatest puzzles in the solar system.
And they are certainly the gaudiest of their kind, far outshining
the faint trails of dust that circle the other giant planets. The
Cassini spacecraft is now giving us a remarkable view of the rings,
revealing far more than their static beauty. Over the past 18
months, the spacecraft's cameras have captured dynamic changes,
watching as the rings are teased into fantastic shapes by passing
moons. The deepest mystery Cassini must help to solve is the origin
of these iconic rings...

Compared with the appropriately named Titan, Saturn's other moons
are small fry. Roll them all together and you would get a sphere
only around 2000 kilometres across, much smaller than our moon. And
yet these little moons are not just boring lumps of ice and rock.
Each is a miniature world, with its own character and story to tell.
Why does Iapetus look like a walnut? Why did most of Saturn's moons
all form 4.5 billion years ago? Why is the pocket-sized landscape
of Enceladus so twisted and fractured? And how did Saturn end up
with such a ragtag bunch of moons anyway?

Titan is too good to be a moon. If it were set free to orbit the sun
instead of Saturn, it would be considered one of the most remarkable
planets in the solar system, far more engaging than that dreary
dustball Mars. Yet 18 months ago we knew almost nothing about
Saturn's largest satellite - the second biggest in our system after
Jupiter's Ganymede. Now planetary scientists are discovering that
Titan is surprisingly Earth-like, with prominent riverbeds and
dunes, hills and muddy plains. But there's a twist...
