18-titan-dawn-dixon.jpg – The ringed planet Saturn hangs like a shining bow in the sky of its largest moon Titan, which is shrouded in a dense atmosphere of nitrogen hazed by hydrocarbons. Although glimpses of Saturn from the surface are probably exceedingly rare, they are not impossible. Drifts of methane snow blanket the landscape. Originally painted in acrylic and gouache on illustration board in 1980, this image has been digitally restored. copyright 2014 Don Dixon / cosmographica.com
