This Voyager 2 photograph of Titan, a satellite of Saturn, shows some detail in the cloud systems. 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 the cloud circulation in titan's atmosphere. The extended haze, composed of of sub-micron size particles, is seen clearly around the satellite's limb. This image was composed from blue, green, and violet frames.
