Cassini peers around the hazy limb of the frigid moon Titan to spy the sunlit south pole of Saturn in the distance beyond. Titan's thick, smog-like atmosphere is a major source of interest for scientists involved with the Cassini mission. This Dec. 26, 2005, view was created using images taken using red, green and blue spectral filters.
Cassini peers around the hazy limb of the frigid moon Titan to spy the sunlit south pole of Saturn in the distance beyond. Titan’s thick, smog-like atmosphere is a major source of interest for scientists involved with the Cassini mission.
This Dec. 26, 2005, view was created using images taken using red, green and blue spectral filters, which combined to make this natural-color view. The image was taken with the Cassini spacecraft narrow-angle camera on Dec. 26, 2005, at a distance of approximately 26,000 kilometers (16,000 miles) from Titan. Image scale is 1 kilometer (4,643 feet) per pixel.Image credit: NASA/JPL/Space Science Institute
