This specially processed composite view reveals a tremendous amount of structure in the northern polar atmosphere of Titan. The hazes in Titan's atmosphere are known to extend hundreds of kilometers above the surface.

Structure visible here could be due to multiple detached hazes, or waves in the atmosphere that propagate through stably stratified layers.

Ten images taken during a brief period were processed to enhance fine detail and then were combined to create this view.

Has anyone attempted to color the above image?

The one with Janus is just greyscale images in a movie I'm afraid.

CRESCENT TITAN WITH RINGS
-------------------------

This poetic scene shows the giant, smog-enshrouded moon Titan behind
Saturn's nearly edge-on rings. Much smaller Epimetheus (72 miles across)
is just visible to the left of Titan (3,200 miles across).

The Cassini spacecraft delivers this stunning vista showing small, battered Epimetheus and smog-enshrouded Titan, with Saturn's A and F rings stretching across the scene.

Interesting to see how much sharper Saturn's limb is than Titan's in this image.
