The Double Haze above Titan
Titan, Saturn's largest moon, is unique for having not one, but two distinct layers of haze above its thick atmosphere. This false-color ultraviolet image from the Cassini spacecraft reveals these purple haze layers. Titan's opaque atmosphere, primarily nitrogen, is similar in composition to Earth's.
