          Photos

          u can find ALL photos (received raw photos) and also some created panoramas here

          The are grey because its IR camera. In visible spectrum there is mostly only fog visible thats why they used IR.

            That must have took forever to get to Saturn's moon.

                yeah i heard somwhere that to get to Saturn it would take a rocket like 45 years. I'm pretty sure we didnt have this technology 45 years ago. Or maybe they meant a rocket full of astronauts.

                    Probe was descending to Titan (not Saturn) and had microphone installed.

                    And u cant do good pictures on place where is -180 °C, thick atmosphere and quite dark. They used IR camera - so thats why resolution is low and colors are missing. The colors will be added later based on used IR filters.
                    And if u compere it with Mars pictures - its not comparable (Probe was 7 years old due that distance - unlike Mars rovers, "climate" on Mars is far more pleasant, light conditions are much better, no permanent fog etc...)
