When Giants meet...
|
Caption NASA originale:"Saturn's two largest moons meet in the sky in a rare embrace. Smog-enshrouded Titan (5.150 Km, or 3,200 miles across) glows to the left of airless Rhea (1.528 Km, or 949 miles across).
The image was taken in visible light with the Cassini spacecraft narrow-angle camera on June 11, 2006 at a distance of approx. 3,6 MKM (about 2,2 MMs) from Rhea and 5,3 MKM (about 3,3 MMs) from Titan.
The Sun-Rhea-spacecraft, or phase, angle is 157° on Rhea.
Image scale is about 22 Km (approx. 13 miles) per pixel on Rhea and 32 Km (approx. 20 miles) per pixel on Titan".
