The Cassini spacecraft produced this view of methane clouds
on Titan, one of Saturn's moons.
Bright mid-latitude clouds
near the bottom of the image suggest the ongoing cycling of methane on Titan.
These cloud streaks are near the same latitude as similar clouds observed above
different longitudes on Titan.
This view focuses on Titan's trailing hemisphere, over a bright
region known as Adiri with a width of 1,700 kilometers (1,050 miles).
North on Titan (5,150 kilometers, or 3,200 miles across) is
15 degrees to the right of the 12 o'clock position on this image.
The multiple images used for this view were taken with the
Cassini spacecraft wide-angle camera at a distance of approximately 104,000
kilometers (65,000 miles) from Titan.
