This page describes an image Titan in natural colours
Image caption:
This image taken by NASA's Cassini spacecraft in January 2012 shows Saturn's moon Titan in near natural colours. The orange-yellowsh colour stems from a layer of partially charged hyodrocarbon compounds. In the visible light, Titan's surface remains largely hidden below the opaque atmosphere.

Image caption: Cette image prise par la sonde Cassini de la NASA en janvier 2012 montre Titan, satellite de Saturne, dans des couleurs proches de la réalité. La couleur orange-jaune provient d'une couche de composés hyodrocarbonés partiellement chargés. Dans le visible, la surface de Titan reste largement masquée par l'atmosphère opaque.

Image caption: Questa immagine, scattata dalla sonda Cassini della NASA nel gennaio 2012, mostra la luna di Saturno - Titano - con colori quasi naturali. Il colore arancio-giallastro deriva da uno strato di composti di idrocarburi parzialmente carichi. Nella luce visibile, la superficie di Titano rimane in gran parte nascosta dall'atmosfera opaca.

Image caption: 这张由美国宇航局卡西尼号飞船于 2012 年 1 月拍摄的照片显示了土星卫星土卫六接近自然的颜色。橙黄色源自一层部分带电的碳氢化合物。在可见光下，土卫六的表面大部分隐藏在不透明的大气层之下。
