Caption NASA:"The Cassini Spacecraft looks toward Saturn's largest moon, Titan, and spies the huge, Northern Kraken Mare. Kraken Mare, a large sea of liquid hydrocarbons and is visible as a dark area near the top of the image. This view looks toward the Saturn-facing Side of Titan. North on Titan is up and rotated 29° to the left.
The image was taken with the Cassini Spacecraft narrow-angle camera on Sept. 14, 2011 using a spectral filter sensitive to wavelengths of Near-InfraRed Light centered at 938 nanometers. The view was acquired at a distance of approx. 1,2 MMs (such as about 1,9 MKM) from Titan and at a Sun-Titan-Spacecraft, or Phase, Angle of 26°.
Image scale is roughly 7 miles (approx. 12 Km) per pixel".
