Janus

Caption NASA:"Craters cover the rugged surface of Saturn's moon Janus. The view is from 42° above the moon's Equator. North on Janus (179 Km, or 111 miles across) is towards the top of the image.
The image was taken with the Cassini Spacecraft narrow-angle camera on May 17, 2008 using a combination of spectral filters sensitive to wavelengths of polarized green light centered at 617 and 568 nanometers. The view was acquired at a distance of approx. 350.000 Km (such as about 217.000 miles) from Janus and at a Sun-Janus-Spacecraft, or phase, angle of 101°.
Image scale is roughly 2 Km (a little more than 1 mile) per pixel".
