Default Old Caltech Telescope Yields New Titan Science

Who would've thought? And I've been using that scope several times in the
past month to observe Mars, but not for anything but my own pleasure.

PASADENA, Calif. - Meet Sarah Horst, throwback. The planetary science
major, a senior at the California Institute of Technology, spent six
months engaged in a bit of old-time telescope observing. The work led
to some breakthrough research about Saturn's moon Titan, and
indirectly led to funding for a new telescope at Caltech's Palomar
Observatory.
