User / Val Klavans / Titan's Colorful Haze
Val Klavans / 155 items
This is an approximate true color view of Titan taken during Cassini's Titan (T-97) Flyby: wp.me/p2WQE3-8S. It was snapped by the Cassini spacecraft's camera system, the Imaging Science Subsystem (ISS).

Titan's upper haze layers appear blue, while its main atmospheric haze appear orange in this view. The difference in color is most likely due to particle size rather than composition. The blue haze probably consists of smaller particles than the orange haze.

These images were taken on January 01, 2014 and received on Earth January 03, 2014. The camera was pointing toward TITAN at approximately 14,958 miles (24,072 kilometers) away, and the images were taken using the CL1, VIO, BL1 and RED filters.
