Pictures from Titan

This false-colour view of Titan, derived from multiple wavelengths, was acquired during Cassini's first close fly-by.

Red and green colours (denoting infrared wavelengths) highlight methane, whereas the blue colour (ultraviolet) shows the high atmosphere and detached hazes. Clouds are apparent near Titan's South Pole.

This poster is a stereographic (fish-eye) projection taken with the descent imager/spectral radiometer onboard the European Space Agency's Huygens probe, when the probe was about 5 kilometers (3 miles) above Titan's surface.

This poster shows a set of images acquired by the Huygens probe descent imager/spectral radiometer, in the four cardinal directions (north, south, east, west), at five different altitudes above Titan's surface.

This poster shows a flattened (Mercator) projection of the view from the descent imager/spectral radiometer on the Huygens probe at four different altitudes.
