|
Caption NASA:"On a high-inclination orbit of Saturn, the Cassini Spacecraft gazes down at the North Polar Region of Janus. This view looks toward Janus from a perspective 72° North of the moon's Equator.
The image was taken with the Cassini Spacecraft narrow-angle camera on July 14, 2008 using a spectral filter sensitive to wavelengths of infrared light centered at 752 nanometers. The view was acquired at a distance of approx. 259.000 Km (about 161.000 miles) from Janus and at a Sun-Janus-Spacecraft, or Phase, Angle of 78°.
Image scale is roughly 2 Km (5085 feet) per pixel".
