Caption NASA:"The Cassini Spacecraft gazes at several albedo features on Saturn's largest moon, Titan.
Left to right are four Dark Regions: Fensal, Aztlan, Aaru and a part of Senkyo. The bright area Quivira lies near the center of the image, separating Fensal and Aztlan. This view looks toward the Saturn-facing side of Titan. North on Titan is up and rotated 24° to the right.
The image was taken with the Cassini Spacecraft narrow-angle camera on June 25, 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. 1,3 MKM (about 808.000 miles) from Titan and at a Sun-Titan-Spacecraft, or Phase, Angle of 12°.
Image scale is roughly 8 Km (about 5 miles) per pixel".
