NASA is preparing to revive the dormant Cassini spacecraft in orbit around Saturn.
Titan's dense atmosphere, cold temperature, and significant gravity lets methane cycle as a solid, a liquid, and a gas; just as water does here on Earth.

Pluto was originally considered the ninth planet in Earth’s solar system, but was recently classified as a dwarf planet. Pluto’s orbit takes it through the Kuiper Belt.
The planet Neptune, eighth planet from the Sun in Earth’s solar system, is the fourth largest planet in diameter and third largest in mass. Neptune was named after the Roman God of the seas.
Saturn, the sixth planet from the Sun, was named after the Roman God Saturn. The planet Saturn is a gas giant and one of the Jovian planets.
Jupiter, fifth planet from the sun in Earth’s solar system, is sometimes referred to as a Jovian planet. 63 moons orbit the gas giant Jupiter, comprised of mostly hydrogen.
It's been 30 years since NASA's two Voyager spacecraft first visited Saturn, but the probes' discoveries are still guiding studies of the ringed planet today.
Life on Earth may have originated high up in the atmosphere rather than in the surface waters of oceans or pools, a new study suggests.
Venus and Saturn, two bright planetary gems of the sky, are now visible in the eastern predawn sky.

The Eighth Planet is an Ice Giant
A malfunction of NASA's Cassini spacecraft will prevent the probe from making its next swing by Saturn's largest moon Titan.
Saturn's rings shake and shimmy spontaneously like a miniature version of our own Milky Way galaxy, a new study suggests.
