Titan’s thick nitrogen atmosphere glows in ultraviolet when struck by sunlight and charged particles. We developed a computer tool that automatically processes thousands of ultraviolet images from Cassini, selecting only clear, sunlit, high-altitude observations, removing noise, and measuring two signature glow lines. We organize these brightness measurements by year and highlight the brightest events as interactive maps and spectra. Next, we will compare each peak brightness against the Sun’s activity record to reveal how changes in solar energy drive Titan’s atmospheric glow.
