Titanian "Arrow-shaped Storm" (Natural Colors; credits for the additional process. and color.: Dr Paolo C. Fienga - Lunexit Team)
Caption NASA:"A huge arrow-shaped Storm blows across the Equatorial Regions of Titan in this image from NASA's Cassini Spacecraft, chronicling the Seasonal Weather Changes on Saturn's largest moon.

This Storm created large effects in the form of dark -- likely wet -- areas on the Surface of Titan, as better visible in later images. After this Storm dissipated, Cassini observed significant changes on Titan's Surface at the Southern Boundary of the Dunefield named Belet. 
Those changes covered an area of approx. 500.000 square Km (310.500 square miles), or roughly the combined area of Arizona and Utah in the United States. 
The part of the Storm that is visible here measures approx. 1200 Km (745,2 miles) in length East-to-West. The wings of the Storm that trail off to the North/West and South/West from the Easternmost point of the storm are each approx. 1500 Km (931,5 miles) long.

Titan's weather has been changing since the August 2009 Equinox, when the Sun lays directly over the Equators of Saturn and its moons, and Storms at low Latitudes are now more common.

This image is a mosaic of two Cassini images. Most of this view is from an image of the storm captured on Sept. 27, 2010. However, because that image's framing cut off the South Polar Region of the Planet, a second image of Titan, taken on July 9, 2010, was used to fill in that portion of the celestial body. This second image was re-projected to the same Viewing Geometry as the first.
Lit Terrain seen here is in the area between the Trailing Hemisphere, which is the side of Titan that faces backward in its orbit around Saturn, and the side of Titan that always faces away from Saturn. North on Titan is up. 

The images were taken with the Cassini Spacecraft narrow-angle camera using a spectral filter of Near-InfraRed Light centered at 938 nanometers. The view was acquired at a distance of approx. 1,3 MKM (807.300 miles) from Titan and at a sun-Titan-Spacecraft, or Phase, Angle of 44°. 
Image scale is roghly 8 Km (4,968 miles) per pixel".
