On 15 October 1997, NASA’s Cassini orbiter embarked on an epic, seven-year voyage to the Saturnian system. Hitching a ride was ESA’s Huygens probe, destined for Saturn’s largest moon, Titan.

To understand where the measured flux from the planet is coming from we need to capture both reflected and thermal components of the light from the planet. This requires broad
