Titan and Saturn
Filed under pretty pictures, many worlds, Saturn, Saturn's moons, Saturn's rings, Titan, Cassini
This view of smoggy Titan against the limb of Saturn is composed of photos taken by Cassini on August 1, 2007 through red, green, and blue filters, so it shows the moon and planet approximately as they would appear to the human eye. Titan's absorbing atmosphere is much darker than Saturn, whose light shines through Titan's upper haze layers, particularly the north polar hood.
