Titan & Cloud cover

A Titan surface albedo data globe, hidden under an external cloud layer.

50mm
70mm
90mm

The outer shell represents Titan's opaque atmosphere as seen from space through the naked eye (or visible spectrum camera sensor as may occasionally be the case) Titan normally looks from space as a featureless yellow/orange sphere due to the thick organonitrogen haze that permeates its atmosphere.

The inner globe on the other hand is a representation of Titan's surface albedo features if the atmosphere was removed. Mapping data, comes from Cassini's VIMS (Visual and Infrared Mapping Spectrometer) that is able to penetrate through the clouds and map the surface albedo features.

Note: Keep in mind that the 50mm version reffers to the diameter of the outter shell (which in turn has a thickness of about 2mm) and the inner globe is quite small. I have kept it around because it was the first version I tested this object with, but like most objects, I concider "70mm" to have the best detail/price ratio.
