Scientific paper

A brightening trend evident in Titan since 1972 is continuing in the current season at an annual rate of 0.017 mag per year in y and 0.026 mag per year in b. The mean magnitude at Eastern elongation is brighter than that at Western elongation by 0.009 mag, suggesting synchronous rotation and a stable system of visible surface features or nonuniform atmospheric clouds.
