Yes, there should be a better picture, since this is an old Voyager image, I believe. I will take a look at the JPL/Cassini image archive. ] 19:58, 28 Apr 2005 (UTC)

Atmosphere

An atmosphere exists around every larger body of the solar system. The substantial information which is missing here is the pressure / density of the atmosphere. 193.171.121.30 18:52, 18 Mar 2005 (UTC)

The press release announcing the discovery gave no information on the atmospheric properties, only that it is "substantial", whatever that means. --Jyril 20:13, Mar 18, 2005 (UTC)

False color image

I definitely prefer the old picture over the new false color image. I will revert, if nobody objects! Awolf002 13:15, 27 Apr 2005 (UTC)

Done. Awolf002 13:55, 28 Apr 2005 (UTC)

Yes, on Titan (moon) the concensus was that the main image of a body should look as realistic as possible. Specifically, false-colour images were considered inferior. In fact, apparently you were the one who reverted that one.  :-) --P3d0 17:52, Apr 28, 2005 (UTC)
