"Banded" Planet
|
Caption NASA:"This Cassini Spacecraft view of Titan shows banding in the Atmosphere of the moon's Northern Hemisphere. Like the planet Venus, Titan's atmosphere rotates faster than its surface, a characteristic called "Super-Rotation."
North on Titan is up.
White specks seen on Titan are artifacts of the process used to enhance features in the moon's Atmosphere. The image was taken in visible blue light with the Cassini Spacecraft wide-angle camera on May 28, 2008. The view was obtained at a distance of approx. 185.000 Km (such as about 115000 miles) from Titan and at a Sun-Titan-Spacecraft, or Phase, angle of 89°.
Image scale is roughly 11 Km (about 7 miles) per pixel".
