NASA Cassini Image: Vortex at Titan's South Pole

A true colour image of Saturn's moon Titan, captured by NASA's Cassini spacecraft, shows a south polar vortex, or a mass of swirling gas, around the pole. 

The formation of the vortex at Titan's south pole may be related to the coming southern winter.
