Cassini to See the Sun Set and Rise on Titan
During Cassini's flyby if Titan on June 13, 2007, scientists will take
advantage of a rare geometry to take detailed measurements of the
atmosphere by imaging the sun as it passes behind Titan and its thick,
banded atmosphere.
Thanks to its onboard Ultraviolet Imaging Spectrograph, scientists
will
be able to probe the highest part of Titan's atmosphere.
