Japetus, from far away (Natural Colors; credits: Lunar Explorer Italia)
Caption NASA:"The Cassini Spacecraft casts its gaze across 4 MKM space for this snapshot of Japetus, Saturn's most distant Major Moon. Japetus — about 1471 Km (914 miles) across — is the 3rd largest moon, but its inclined orbit is much farther out from the other Major Moons, where Cassini spends most of its time. Nonetheless, the moon's distinctive two-tone surface is obvious. 
This view looks toward the Leading Hemisphere of Japetus. North on Japetus is up and rotated 2° to the right. The image was taken in visible light with the Cassini Spacecraft narrow-angle camera on March 3, 2008. 

The view was acquired at a distance of approx. 4 MKM (such as about 2,5 MMs) from Japetus and at a Sun-Japetus-Spacecraft, or Phase, Angle of 69°. 
Image scale is roughly 24 Km (about 15 miles) per pixel".
