Why would the surface of Titan light up with a blinding flash? The reason: a sunglint from liquid seas. Saturn’s moon Titan has numerous smooth lakes of methane that, when the angle is right, reflect sunlight as if they were mirrors. Pictured here in false-color, the robotic Cassini spacecraft orbiting Saturn imaged the cloud-covered Titan last summer in different bands of cloud-piercing infrared light.

Good morning all! 🙋
Shit, tomorrow is MONDAY 😱😂

NASA’s Cassini spacecraft spied details on the pockmarked surface of Saturn’s moon Prometheus (86 kilometers, or 53 miles across) during a moderately close flyby on Dec. 6, 2015. This is one of Cassini’s highest resolution views of #Prometheus. The image was taken in visible light with the Cassini spacecraft narrow-angle camera.
The #Cassini mission is a cooperative project of #NASA, #ESA (@EuropeanSpaceAgency) and the Italian Space Agency. The Jet Propulsion Laboratory (@nasajpl) a division of the California Institute of Technology in Pasadena, manages the mission for NASA’s Science Mission Directorate, Washington. The Cassini orbiter and its two onboard cameras were designed, developed and assembled at JPL. The imaging operations center is based at the Space Science Institute in Boulder, Colorado.

Happy space Saturday everybody!
