Titans Lakes and Saturns Rings
Titan is the largest moon of Saturn, the only natural satellite known to have a dense atmosphere, and the only object other than Earth for which clear evidence of stable bodies of surface liquid has been found. The image shows sunlight reflected from one of Titans liquid hydrocarbon lakes located in the polar regions.Titans atmosphere is largely composed of nitrogen; minor components lead to the formation of methane and ethane clouds and nitrogen-rich organic smog. It has also been suggested that a form of life may exist on the surface, using liquid methane as a medium instead of water; and anomalies in atmospheric composition have been reported which are consistent with the presence of such a life-form, but which could also be due to an exotic non-organic chemistry.

A2 Poster (59.4 x 42cm, 23.4" x 16.5" inches) printed on 170gsm Satin Poster Paper. Securely packaged, rolled and inserted into a strong mailing tube and shipped tracked. Poster Prints are of comparable archival quality to our Photographic prints, they are simply printed on thinner Poster Paper. Whilst we only use Photographic Prints in our frames, you can frame Poster Prints if they are carefully supported to prevent sagging over time.
Poster prints are budget friendly enlarged prints in standard poster paper sizes (A0, A1, A2, A3 etc).

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Titans Lakes and Saturns Rings" offers a mesmerizing glimpse into the enigmatic moon of Saturn. Titan, the largest moon in our solar system, stands out as a unique celestial body with its dense atmosphere and evidence of stable liquid bodies on its surface. The image showcases sunlight reflecting off one of Titan's liquid hydrocarbon lakes nestled within its polar regions. Titans' atmosphere primarily consists of nitrogen, while minor components contribute to the formation of methane and ethane clouds along with nitrogen-rich organic smog. This intriguing composition has sparked speculation about the possibility of life existing on Titan's surface, utilizing liquid methane as an alternative medium instead of water. Anomalies in atmospheric composition have been reported, hinting at potential life forms or exotic non-organic chemistry at play. The computer artwork presented here is based on data collected by the Cassini-Huygens orbiter mission, providing us with a stunning visual representation that unveils some secrets hidden within this distant moon. As we delve deeper into understanding Titan's mysteries through scientific exploration like Cassini-Huygens, we continue to unravel the complexities that make it such a fascinating subject for study. This awe-inspiring print from Science Photo Library invites us to contemplate the wonders beyond Earth and ponder what other surprises lie waiting among our cosmic neighbors.
