Titan is the largest of Saturn’s 34 moons, It is 5,150 km in diameter –larger than the planet Mercury. Dutch astronomer Christian Huygens discovered Titan in 1655. We still have no idea what its surface looks like because Titan has a dense atmosphere containing nitrogen, ethane and other gases which shroud its surface –not unlike that of Earth four billion years ago.
