Janus is about 181 Km (approx. 113 miles) across.
The image was taken in visible light with the Cassini spacecraft narrow-angle camera. The view was acquired at a distance of approx. 169.000 Km (such as about 105.000 miles) from Janus and at a Sun-Janus-Spacecraft, or phase, angle of 71°. Image scale is roughly 1 Km (about 0,6 mile) per pixel".
