Titan was the first moon of Saturn to be discovered. It took another six years to find the next moon. Since then, 53 definite moons have been found around Saturn. Another nine moons are considered provisional. More study is needed to confirm that they are proper orbiting moons.
Titan is covered in thick clouds and has a surface temperature of -178oC (-289oF). Beneath the atmosphere is a moon of rivers, lakes and oceans in a land of hydrocarbon sand dunes.
Scientists believe Titan is a lot like Earth was millions of years ago. It may hold the answer to how life evolved on our planet.
