For the first time in the history of astronomy, scientists are about to glimpse the mysterious surface of Titan, Saturn's haze-shrouded moon.
The spacecraft Cassini, flying in orbit around the planet since it first entered Saturn's icy ring system last July, will speed within 745 miles of Titan's unseen surface at precisely 9:44 a.m. Pacific time today, and scientists have readied the most sensitive instruments aboard Cassini for a series of hit-or-miss attempts to gain their first clear understanding of the tantalizing moon.
But wait, there's more!
In about 7-1/2 hours, watch the live webcast on NASA-TV:
