Alien Earth
Per PlanetQuest: When the Cassini mission's Huygens probe plunges through the atmosphere of Saturn's moon Titan, it will provide a glimpse behind the veil of what many astronomers consider the most Earthlike body in our solar system. It may also provide vital clues in NASA's search for habitable planets around other stars. More on what Cassini is finding is here. The next several months could yield some pretty cool stuff from the outer solar system. I've long felt that the Jovian moons are the most interesting bodies in the solar system, making Mars look downright boring, and it appears the Saturnian moons give them a run for their money. Here's hoping for some good stuff to come out of Cassini-Huygens (and looking forward to JIMO, which could be the most exciting unmanned spaceflight in our lifetimes).
