Tune in to Titan

Posted by michael on from the channel-143656335 dept.

Scarblac writes "In a little over four days, the Cassini spacecraft will finally do its first flyby of Titan, the first of 46 such flybys planned for the coming years. There will be a broadcast on NASA TV. Titan is one of the most interesting objects in the solar system, the only moon with a substantial atmosphere. A few months ago, Cassini was able to spot details of Titan's surface from far away. It should be able to improve on this dramatically - what will be discovered this time?"

    what will be discovered this time?
    A big black monolith. It will turn out to be the external component of the aliens' split-system air conditioner.
