Caption NASA:"Saturn's third-largest moon, Dione, can be seen through the Haze of the Ringed-Planet's largest moon, Titan, in this Cassini Spacecraft's view of the two, just posing before Saturn and its Rings. The North Polar "Hood" of Titan can be seen appearing as a detached layer at its top
This view looks toward the sides of Titan and Dione that are facing away from Saturn. North is up on both moons. This view looks toward the Northern, sunlit side of the Rings from just above the Ring-Plane.
Images taken using red, green and blue spectral filters were combined to create this Natural Color view. The images were obtained with the Cassini Spacecraft narrow-angle camera on May 21, 2011, at a distance of approx. 1,4 MMs (such as about 2,3 MKM) from Titan and approx. 2 MMs (such as about 3,2 MKM) from Dione. Image scale is roughly 9 miles (about 14 Km) per pixel on Titan and roughly 12 miles (approx. 19 Km) on Dione".
