The surface of Titan, a satellite of Saturn, was hidden to Voyager by a thick fog of hydrocarbons. In the infra-red one can see through the fog. These images confirm the existence of a bright continent-size feature extending mainly in the south hemisphere and visible during the eastern elongation. The angular diameter of Titan is 0.7".
