This page describes an image Titan with surface features
Image caption:
This composite image taken by NASA's Cassini spacecraft in November 2015 visualises infrared radiation from Saturn's moon Titan. Infrared light can penetrate its hazy atmosphere and reveal some of its surface features. During its decent to the surface, the piggy-backed ESA lander Huygens discovered lakes made of liquid hydrocarbons.

La luce infrarossa penetra attraverso la sua atmosfera nebulosa e riesce a svelare alcune particolarità della sua superficie. Durante la sua discesa verso la superficie, il lander Huygens ESA, trasportato dalla sonda Cassini, ha scoperto laghi composti di idrocarburi liquidi.
