Enchanted Titan (Natural Colors; credits: Lunar Explorer Italia)
Caption NASA:"The Cassini Spacecraft looks toward Fensal and Aztlan, two dark areas near the Equator of Titan.
Like other albedo features on Titan, these areas are named after enchanted places or paradises from legends and myths from the World's Cultures. Fensal, the name of the area on the left, is a magnificent mansion in Norse mythology. Aztlan, the name of the dark area on the right of the image, is an Aztec mythical land.
Lit Terrain seen here is mostly on the Leading Hemisphere of Titan. North on Titan is up and rotated 38° to the left.

The image was taken with the Cassini Spacecraft narrow-angle camera on May 25, 2009 using a spectral filter sensitive to wavelengths of Near-InfraRed light centered at 938 nanometers.

The view was acquired at a distance of approx. 1,3 MKM (about 808.000 miles) from Titan and at a Sun-Titan-Spacecraft, or Phase, Angle of 25°.
Image scale is roughly 8 Km (about 5 miles) per pixel".
