This
Voyager 2 photograph of Titan, taken Aug. 23 from a range of 2.3
million km, shows some detail in the cloud systems on this Saturnian
moon.
The southern hemisphere appears lighter in contrast, a well-defined
band is seen near the equator, and a dark collar is evident at the
north pole. All these bands are associated with cloud circulation
in Titan's atmosphere. The extended haze, composed of submicron-size
particles, is seen clearly around the satellite's limb. This image
was composed from blue, green and violet frames.
