Titan's atmosphere, backlit

[mmcirvin]

Cassini spent a lot of time during the latest flyby taking pictures of the backlit atmosphere of Titan. Here's a color composite I made from some of the full-disk images:




This was taken entirely in visible light, but I make no claims about the accuracy of the color variations.


Update: See also this close-up, with haze shown in UV. JPL seems to be catching up to me in the production of pretty composite pictures from the past few days, and has released a flurry of them on the press images page.
