Titan: Cloud Systems PIA01532
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.
