Caption NASA:"The low albedo feature known as Senkyo is (barely!) visible through the haze of Titan's Atmosphere.
See PIA08231 to learn about this area that appears dark near Titan's Equator. This view looks toward Saturn-facing Side of Titan and is centered on terrain at 1° South Lat. and 345° West Longitude. North on Titan is up and rotated 10° to the right.
The image was taken with the Cassini Spacecraft narrow-angle camera on Oct. 12, 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. 296.000 Km (about 184.000 miles) from Titan and at a Sun-Titan-Spacecraft, or Phase, Angle of 11°.
Image scale is about 2 Km (approx. 1,3 mile) per pixel".
