A late Christmas present...new flyby photos from Titan!
Not ready for press photos yet, apparently. Flyby was Dec. 26th.

6. Damn if Iapetus doesn't look like a giant walnut.
I am surprised that no theorist has speculated as to whether the moon fell into Saturn's orbit from a giant galactic walnut tree.
