Geotimes December 2004	A Saturnian One-Two Punch: Flybys of Titan and Dione On Monday, the Cassini-Huygens spacecraft flew by Titan only 1,200 kilometers above the moon's surface. It was the second such flyby of Titan, Saturn's largest moon, since the spacecraft began orbiting Saturn on June 30.
Geotimes May 2005 Laura Stafford	Saturn's New Moon In a small space between Saturn's rings, scientists discovered a previously unknown moon, currently known as S/2005 S1, from the images sent back to Earth from Cassini less than a year after the spacecraft began orbiting Saturn.

Geotimes March 2006 Kathryn Hansen	Titanic Methane Mystery Solved? The case of the elusive source of methane on Titan, Saturn's largest moon, could soon come to a close, some astronomers say. A new model suggests that instead of storage within surface lakes or an ocean, methane lies inside an icy crust and periodic changes release it into the atmosphere.
