內容簡介：
Lifting Titan''s Veil is a revealing account of the second
largest moon in our solar system. This world in orbit around Saturn

authors describe our current knowledge of Titan, from its discovery
in 1655, up to the present day. Ralph Lorenz includes his personal
experiences in preparing for the Cassini mission, which will reach
Saturn in 2004 and release the Huygens probe into Titan''s
atmosphere in 2005.
