Fensal-Aztlan Region

Original caption:"The H-shaped region Fensal-Aztlan is faintly visible on Saturn's murky moon Titan in this enhanced clear-filter view from Cassini.
While most of the light passing through the clear filters is visible light, a small portion of the light is in the treasured infrared windows that allow views down to the moon's frigid surface (nota: la NASA persiste nel definire Titano come un mondo "gelido". Forse vero - a logica diremmo di si - ma i dati che possediamo non autorizzano ancora tale conclusione la quale, ovviamente, ad oggi solo speculativa).
At the upper left, dark wavelike features in the atmosphere encircle the moon's North Pole.
The view shows principally the Saturn-facing Hemisphere on Titan; North is up and rotated 35 to the left.
The image was taken with the Cassini spacecraft narrow-angle camera on Oct. 7, 2005, at a distance of approximately 2,4 MKM (about 1,5 MMs) from Titan and at a phase angle of 33. The image scale is 14 Km (about 9 miles) per pixel".
