Titan. Composite infrared Cassini spacecraft image of Titan, Saturn's largest moon. Red corresponds to the atmosphere and green and blue to the surface. A red-tinged methane cloud is seen at the moon's south pole. The inset shows what is thought to be an icy volcano (white) on the surface. The Cassini-Huygens spacecraft was launched in 1997 to investigate Saturn, its rings and its moons. This image was taken 26 October 2004.
