False-color ultraviolet image of Titan, Saturn's largest moon, revealing two distinct haze layers in its thick nitrogen atmosphere. The upper haze layer appears purple, while the lower layer is less visible. This unique atmospheric feature is a subject of ongoing scientific investigation. The image was captured by the Cassini spacecraft.
