Huygens probe ready for dive through atmosphere.

The Cassini spacecraft has photographed the first direct evidence of changing weather patterns on Saturn's giant moon Titan.

Cassini flew past Titan, roughly 1,200 kilometres from its surface, on Monday 13 December, about the same distance as its first close encounter back on 26 October.
