Titan's Haze is going down...
|
Caption NASA:"The change in Titan's Haze Layer is illustrated in this figure, derived from data obtained by NASA's Cassini Spacecraft. The picture of Titan in panel "a" was taken on May, 3, 2006, while the picture in panel "b" was taken on April, 2, 2010, several months after Titan's Equinox in August of 2009.
The geometries and Solar Illumination in both images are similar, though Titan's North Pole is at about the one o'clock position (32°) from vertical in panel "a" and nearly vertical in panel "b".
Pictures "c" and "d" magnify the outer regions and show the difference in altitude of the Haze Layer (near 500 Km in "c" and near 380 Km in "d")".
