Titan: Thick atmosphere and haze layer PIA02290
This narrow-angle camera image of Titan was taken through the Clear filter from a distance of 0.9 million km on 25 August 1981.

With a phase angle of 155 degrees, the thick atmosphere can be seen illuminated completely around the disk. A distinct upper haze layer is present over much of the circumference of the disk.
