Caption NASA:"Titan's globally distributed detached haze layer and the moon's North Polar hood, both notable details of its thick atmosphere, are clearly seen in this image from the Cassini Spacecraft.
Titan is about 5150 Km (approx. 3200 miles) across, and therefore slightly larger than Mercury.
The image was taken with the Cassini Spacecraft narrow-angle camera using a combination of spectral filters sensitive to wavelengths of polarized ultraviolet light centered at 338 nanometers. The view was obtained at a distance of approx. 1,7 MKM (about 1,08 MMs) from Titan and at a Sun-Titan-Spacecraft, or Phase, Angle of 50°.
Image scale is roughly 10 Km (about 6 miles) per pixel".
