Overview

Best of Titan

Titan, close and in false colour

This image shows Titan in ultraviolet and infrared wavelengths, taken by the NASA/ESA/ASI Cassini-Huygens spacecraft on 26 October 2004, during the close fly-by.

High haze over Titan

A global detached haze layer and discrete cloud-like features high above Titan are visible in this close-up image from the NASA/ESA/ASI Cassini-Huygens spacecraft.

Revealing Titan's surface

These pictures were created from a sequence of images acquired by the NASA/ESA/ASI Cassini-Huygens spacecraft's cameras on 25 October 2004, 38 hours before its closest approach to Titan.

Purple haze around Titan

Encircled in a purple stratospheric haze, Titan appears as a softly glowing sphere in this colorised image taken a day after the first NASA/ESA/ASI Cassini-Huygens fly-by of the moon.

Titan's surface revealed

Piercing the layer of smog enshrouding Titan, these images from the NASA/ESA/ASI Cassini-Huygens spacecraft reveal an exotic surface covered with a variety of materials in the southern hemisphere.

Full story

Methane clouds and surface features now visible on Titan

These are processed images from the first Cassini-Huygens fly-by of Titan. The spacecraft instruments peered through the haze of the moon's atmosphere to detect areas of varying brightness in unprecedented detail.
