another cool image...
QUOTE This specially processed composite view reveals a tremendous amount of structure in the northern polar atmosphere of Titan. The hazes in Titan's atmosphere are known to extend hundreds of kilometers above the surface. Structure visible here could be due to multiple detached hazes, or waves in the atmosphere that propagate through stably stratified layers. Ten images taken during a brief period were processed to enhance fine detail and then were combined to create this view.  http://photojournal.jpl.nasa.gov/catalog/PIA08127 |

The one with Janus is just greyscale images in a movie I'm afraid.

CRESCENT TITAN WITH RINGS
------------------------- This poetic scene shows the giant, smog-enshrouded moon Titan behind Saturn's nearly edge-on rings. Much smaller Epimetheus (72 miles across) is just visible to the left of Titan (3,200 miles across). http://spaceflightnow.com/cassini/060415titanrings.html -------------------- "After having some business dealings with men, I am occasionally chagrined,
and feel as if I had done some wrong, and it is hard to forget the ugly circumstance. I see that such intercourse long continued would make one thoroughly prosaic, hard, and coarse. But the longest intercourse with Nature, though in her rudest moods, does not thus harden and make coarse. A hard, sensible man whom we liken to a rock is indeed much harder than a rock. From hard, coarse, insensible men with whom I have no sympathy, I go to commune with the rocks, whose hearts are comparatively soft." - Henry David Thoreau, November 15, 1853 |

The Cassini spacecraft delivers this stunning vista showing small, battered Epimetheus and smog-enshrouded Titan, with Saturn's A and F rings stretching across the scene.
