We’re used to seeing pictures of Saturn’s moon Titan taken by the Cassini spacecraft. These views of Titan were taken by a ground-base telescope, the Very Large Telescope at the European Southern Observatory in Chile. The image on the right has been enlarged for clarity, and the coordinate grid used Titan overlaid. The images are false-colour renderings coded with red (1.575 μm; surface), green (1.600 μm; surface), and blue (1.625 μm; atmosphere), respectively.
