Orbit from mean elements
Titan is placed by solving a Keplerian orbit around saturn at the simulation time (a = 1,221,870 km, e = 0.0288, i = 0.3°, period 15.9 d).
Saturn's largest moon. Only moon with a dense atmosphere and liquid lakes on its surface.
One record per aspect. The origin says what kind of thing each value is; the source says where it came from; the limit says what it cannot tell you.

Titan is presented using measured atmosphere; display-bounded aerosol scattering data.
Titan: mean radius 2,574.7 km. These values are bundled with the object record and drive the rendered size.
Orange haze approximates the visible atmosphere. The underlying Cassini 938 nm map is near-infrared, not visible-light surface color.
Near-infrared surface mosaic; Titan’s visible-light atmosphere is opaque orange haze.
The short description and the fact list are written by the Space Time authors for orientation. They are not quoted from a catalog field and carry no citation of their own.
