This sequence of images illustrates the evolution of a field of clouds nearTitan's south pole over a period of almost five hours. The images wereacquired on July 2, 2004, by NASA's Cassini spacecraft at ranges of 364,000to 339,000 kilometers (226,170 to 210,600 miles). These bright clouds,believed to be composed of methane, appear in generally the same area whereEarth-based astronomers have previously detected clouds. Cassini also sawclouds in this region during its approach to Saturn. Image Credit:NASA/JPL/Space Science Institute
