Voyager 2 flew by Saturn...
I was 10 years old, already fascinated with everything space, but I remember that event as the one that made me a solar system exploration (later unmanned solar system exploration) fan |

One of the few YOUNG teens there ( 13 in 81 ) Mainly for the slide shows Then the lowbrows would pull out the 8 and 12 in scopes on the Observatory roof top . |

Here's a couple of Titan images from Voyager 2 to "celebrate" the anniversary.
I was pleasantly surprised that applying the same processing as for Cassini gives the pretty familiar Titan color. Save for the massively higher noise levels, of course. -------------------- |
