Titan Flyby - Nov. 19, 2007
Spotlight on Titan for Next Cassini Flyby

Saturn's moon Titan will be backlit by the sun during Cassini's
upcoming
flyby on Nov. 19, 2007. Scientists will be looking with much
anticipation at the densities of Titan's atmosphere, which were lower
during the last flyby. This flyby marks Cassini's last high-
inclination
climb, and is considered Cassini's last "mountain climb" in the
nominal
mission. By July of 2008, Cassini will be looking down on Saturn from
its highest inclinations, greater than 70 degrees.
