This graphic depicts a cross-section of the Saturnian moon Titan. Cassini scientists speculate there may be a layer of liquid water mixed with ammonia about 100 kilometers (62 miles) below the surface of Titan.
The Radio Science Subsystem uses this pass to measure Titan's gravity field, allowing scientists to explore the moon's interior. This is the fourth of four fly-bys where RADAR can probe the interior of Titan and confirm the existence of an ocean.
