Caption NASA:"The Cassini Spacecraft peers through the Atmosphere of Saturn's largest moon, Titan, to examine the Dark Region known as "Belet".
This large Region has a low albedo, meaning it reflects little light.
See also PIA11149 to learn more. This view looks toward the Trailing Hemisphere of Titan.
The image was taken with the Cassini Spacecraft narrow-angle camera on Dec. 28, 2009 using a spectral filter sensitive to wavelengths of Near-InfraRed Light centered at 938 nanometers. The view was obtained at a distance of approx. 282.000 Km (about 175.000 miles) from Titan and at a Sun-Titan-Spacecraft, or Phase, Angle of 45°.
Image scale is roughly 2 Km (a little more than 1 mile) per pixel".
