Saturn and its moon family

Saturn has always amused the astronomers (and astrologers too ;-) ). The serene beauty of the planet invites astronomers and space-enthusiasts towards me. The second biggest planet,after Jupiter, in the solar system Saturn has 31 moons revolving around it .


Titan, the largest moon of saturn and second largest in the solarsystem is the only known moon with dense atmosphere.

The spacecraft Cassini has sent has incredible pictures and information of Saturn and its moons.

Here are some pictures from Big Picture :
