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. 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. 'Raw' images from the first Cassini-Huygens Titan fly-by Detail visible through the haze Irregular bright and dark regions of yet unidentified composition and character are becoming increasingly visible on Titan's surface as Cassini-Huygens approaches its first fly-by of Saturn's largest moon on 2 July 2004. First view of Titan This is the eagerly awaited first glimpse by Cassini-Huygens of the surface of Titan, Saturn's most mysterious moon. Last update: 11 November 2004
