Second Set of Titan Images Online

The second set of Titan images from yesterday's non-targeted encounter of Titan are now online. These images highlight the south polar region of Titan, very similar to the encounter shortly after SOI. The image above shows the best image from this pass of the south polar region.

Other images from this set include:

• The frame to the north of this one
• Northern part of a full-frame image taken the day before
