Hazy Days on Titan

TITAN.thumbnail-2.jpg

Here's a photograph of Saturn's moon Titan, captured by NASA's Cassini spacecraft. The image was captured on May 13, 2007 at a distance of approximately 104,000 kilometers (65,000 miles) from Titan, when the spacecraft was on a flyby. The bright clouds on the lower part of the moon show how Titan's methane atmosphere cycles around.
