One week after the arrival of Cassini-Huygens at Saturn this Exchange provides a summary of the events of lqst week plus, more importantly, an overview of the scientific observations and results obtained since the early morning of 1 July. On 2 July, Cassini-Huygens already passed by close to Titan, Saturn’s largest moon, of which it revelaed details never seen before … indeed a taste of the wealth of observations expected in the next four years, and useful information to plan for the arrival of the Huygens probe at Titan in January 2004.
