Caption NASA:"The complex and dynamic Atmosphere of Titan displays multiple Haze Layers near the North Pole in this view, which also provides an excellent look at the detached Stratospheric Haze Layer that surrounds the moon at lower Latitudes.
North on Titan is up and rotated 20° to the left.
The image was taken with the Cassini Spacecraft narrow-angle camera on March 16, 2006, using a filter sensitive to wavelengths of UltraViolet Light centered at 338 nanometers. The image was obtained at a distance of approx. 1,2 MKM (about 800.000 miles) from Titan and at a Sun-Titan-Spacecraft, or Phase, Angle of 68°. Image scale is approx. 7 Km (such as about 5 miles) per pixel".
