Explanation:
What would it be like to see a sky with many moons?
Such is the sky above
Saturn.
When appearing close to each other, moons will show a similar
phase.
A view with two of the more famous moons of
Saturn in gibbous
phase was captured last month by the
robot spacecraft
Cassini now orbiting Saturn.
Titan,
on the left, is among the largest moons in the
Solar System and is perpetually shrouded in clouds.
In 2005, the Huygens probe
landed on Titan
and gave humanity its first view of its unusual surface.
Dione,
on the right, has less than a quarter of
Titan's diameter and has no
significant atmosphere.
The above uncalibratedimage
was taken on April 10 after
Cassini
swooped by each moon the previous week.
