Caption NASA:"Titan's Atmosphere makes Saturn's largest moon look like a 'fuzzy orange ball' in this Natural Color view from the Cassini Spacecraft. Titan's North Polar Hood is visible at the top of the image, and a faint blueish Haze also can be detected above the South Pole at the bottom of this view. Recent Cassini images suggest Titan's North Polar Vortex, or 'Hood', is beginning to flip from North to South (see PIA14913). This view looks toward the Anti-Saturn Side of Titan. North is up.
Images taken using red, green and blue spectral filters were combined to create this Natural Color view. The images were obtained with the Cassini Spacecraft wide-angle camera on Jan. 30, 2012 at a distance of approximately 119.000 miles (about 191.000 Km) from Titan. Image scale is roughly 7 miles (about 11 Km) per pixel".
