Janus (Natural Colors; credits: Lunar Explorer Italia)
Caption NASA:"Janus imitates its two-faced Greek god namesake by catching light on two sides. The brighter side of Janus is lit by the Sun while light reflected off Saturn dimly illuminates the rest of the moon and reveals the non-spherical shape of this small satellite. 
This image has been scaled to twice its original size. 
This view looks toward the Leading Hemisphere of the Janus (about 179 Km, or approx. 111 miles across). 
North on Janus is up and rotated 22° to the left. 

The image was taken in visible light with the Cassini spacecraft narrow-angle camera on Feb. 12, 2009. 
The view was obtained at a distance of approx. 1 MKM (such as about 621.000 miles) from Janus and at a Sun-Janus-Spacecraft, or Phase, Angle of 112°. 
Image scale is roughly 6 Km (about 4 miles) per pixel".
