Saturns moons

I was looking at some pictures on the NASA site and saw a set of pictures of Titan and Dione, both moons of Saturn. Titan has a very thick atmosphere which gives the moon a yellow appearance. Titan is being studied by the Cassini probe and there have been rivers and lakes seen on the surface, though it is not water but hydrocarbons. In any case, the system of moons is very interesting to look at.
