We now know from several probes that Titan has thick clouds and this view wouldn’t be possible.
A few decades ago we happened serendipitously upon a Bonestell exposition at the JSC visitors‘ center in Houston. Saw this painting „in the flesh.“ What struck me immediately is how small the originals are – 2 to 3 foot diagonals.
Sadly they had signs requesting no photography.
**You will likely find out in 2034:**
„Part of NASA’s New Frontiers Program, the Dragonfly mission is now scheduled to launch in 2028 and arrive on Saturn’s moon Titan in 2034.“
