Images taken during Cassini's second close approach to Titan in December
2004 have captured detailed views of the moon's intermittent clouds.
The clouds seen here are at about 38 degrees south latitude on Titan. The
clouds across the middle of the frame extend about 250 kilometers (155
miles). The image scale is about .6 kilometers (.4 miles) per pixel.
The Cassini-Huygens mission is a cooperative project of NASA, the
European Space Agency and the Italian Space Agency. The Jet Propulsion
Laboratory, a division of the California Institute of Technology in
Pasadena, manages the mission for NASA's Science Mission Directorate,
Washington, D.C. The Cassini orbiter and its two onboard cameras were
designed, developed and assembled at JPL. The imaging team is based at
the Space Science Institute, Boulder, Colo.
