English: Original Caption Released with Image:

Cassini has found Titan's upper atmosphere to consist of a surprising number of layers of haze, as shown in this ultraviolet image of Titan's night side limb, colorized to look like true color. The many fine haze layers extend several hundred kilometers above the surface. Although this is a night side view, with only a thin crescent receiving direct sunlight, the haze layers are bright from light scattered through the atmosphere.

The image was taken with the Cassini spacecraft narrow angle camera. About 12 distinct haze layers can be seen in this image, with a scale of 0.7 kilometers (0.43 miles) per pixel. The limb shown here is at about 10 degrees south latitude, in the equatorial region.
Deutsch: Diese von der Nachtseite aus gemachte UV-Aufnahme zeigt viele übereinanderliegende Dunstschichten in der Titanatmosphäre. Diese erstrecken sich hunderte Kilometer hoch. Die Aufnahme wurde nachkoloriert, um nahezu natürliche Farben zu erreichen, Cassini, 2004.
