Rare opportunity for information on the upper atmosphere of Saturn

A rare eclipse of Saturn's largest satellite, Titan, was monitored photoelectrically, and a light curve was obtained. By comparing this light curve with similar ones obtained for Jupiter's satellites, the Saturnian stratosphere is found to be relatively clear at the latitude ( similar to 2...

Summary:A rare eclipse of Saturn's largest satellite, Titan, was monitored photoelectrically, and a light curve was obtained. By comparing this light curve with similar ones obtained for Jupiter's satellites, the Saturnian stratosphere is found to be relatively clear at the latitude ( similar to 25 degrees S) probed.
