Caption NASA:"The Cassini Spacecraft examines the dark region of Senkyo on Saturn's largest moon, Titan. Senkyo is in the center of the image, and it lies just south of the moon's equator. For an earlier view of this Region, see PIA08231.
Lit terrain seen here is on the Saturn-facing side of Titan. North on Titan is up and rotated 6° to the left.
The image was taken with the Cassini Spacecraft narrow-angle camera on March 21, 2009 using a spectral filter sensitive to wavelengths of near-InfraRed Light centered at 938 nanometers.
The view was obtained at a distance of approx. 994.000 Km (about 618.000 miles) from Titan and at a Sun-Titan-Spacecraft, or Phase, Angle of 63°.
Image scale is roughly 6 Km (a little less than 4 miles) per pixel".
