Description

Mars is not the world that would be suited best for human settlement. That is - despite its huge distance from Earth - Saturn's moon Titan which, today, looks to us like a big brother of Pluto. That which the doomed Cassini-Huygens spacecraft has shown us is a world that looks homely to human eyes and yet immeasurably alien.Like its companion volume "Pluto & Charon", "Titan, Pluto's big brother" is intended for armchair astronomers and other interested readers who have some basic knowledge of astronomy and other natural sciences but are more interested in colour images than in charts and equations.Including a foreword by Dr Rainer Riemann, active contributor to the Cassini-Huygens mission.
