Titan's mysterious dense atmosphere
Titan's mysterious dense atmosphere
Cassini delivers this stunning vista showing small, battered Epimetheus and smog-enshrouded Ti-tan, with Saturn's A and F rings stretching across the scene. The colour information in the colorised view is completely artificial: it is derived from red, green and blue images taken at nearly the same time and phase angle as the clear filter image. This colour information was overlaid onto the previously released clear filter view in order to approximate the scene as it might appear to human eyes.
