Eclipsed Titan (Natural Colors; credits: Lunexit)
Caption NASA:"Titan becomes obscured as it moves into eclipse by Saturn. Using a camera filter sensitive to Near-InfraRed light, this image manages to show albedo features on the moon. For a view of Titan in eclipse taken in visible light, see PIA11508. 
As it moves into Saturn's shadow, Titan is lit by two sources. Most of the light comes from refracted Sunlight passing through the edge of Saturn's Atmosphere, but Sunlight reflected off the Planet's Rings also reaches the moon. 

This view looks toward the Trailing Hemisphere of Titan. North on Titan is up and rotated 28° to the left. 

The image was taken with the Cassini Spacecraft narrow-angle camera on Sept. 11, 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. 2,5 MKM (such as about 1,6 MMs) from Titan and at a Sun-Titan-Spacecraft, or Phase, Angle of 85°. 
Image scale is roughly 15 Km (a little more than 9 miles) per pixel".
