Images of Saturn’s moon Titan, captured by NIRCam on November 4, 2022. Left: Image from F212N, a 2.12-micron filter sensitive to Titan’s lower atmosphere. The bright spots are prominent clouds in the northern hemisphere. Right: Color composite image from combined NIRCam filters: Blue=F140M, Green=F150W, Red=F200W, Brightness=F210M. Several prominent surface features are labeled: Kraken Mare is thought to be a methane sea; Belet is composed of dark-colored sand dunes; Adiri is a bright albedo feature.
