This Voyager 2 photograph of Titan, taken Aug.
23 from a range of 2.3 million kilometers (1.4 million miles),
shows some detail in the cloud systems on this Saturnian moon.
The southern hemisphere appears lighter in contrast, a well-defined
band is seen near the equator, and a dark collar is evident at
the north pole. All these bands are associated with cloud circulation
in Titan's atmosphere. The extended haze, composed of submicron-size
particles, is seen clearly around the satellite's limb. This image
was composed from blue, green and violet frames. The Voyager project
is managed for NASA by the Jet Propulsion Laboratory, Pasadena,
Calif. (P-24067)
