NASA Science News for July 4, 2004

It's only a first look, and the images are blurry, but scientists are
delighted: an instrument onboard Cassini has peered through Titan's dense
clouds to see what lies beneath. There are regions covered with water-ice,
a possible impact crater, and more. "We're seeing a totally alien
surface," says one researcher. Cassini has also spotted bright methane
clouds near Titan's south pole, and a giant space-cloud enveloping Titan
itself.
