Scientific paper

Titan's dense atmosphere can be studied by analyzing the starlight intensity variations observed during its recent occultation of a bright star. An overall light curve is presented for the event, a prominent feature is the central brightening, with a more intense burst near its center. The overall size of the atmosphere of Titan implied by the length of the event indicates that it was detectable up to a height of at least 600 km, or one-fourth of Titan's radius.
