Fensal-Aztlan Region

Original caption:"The H-shaped region Fensal-Aztlan is faintly visible on Saturn's murky moon Titan in this enhanced clear-filter view from Cassini.
While most of the light passing through the clear filters is visible light, a small portion of the light is in the treasured infrared windows that allow views down to the moon's frigid surface (nota: la NASA persiste nel definire Titano come un mondo "gelido". Forse è vero - a logica diremmo di si - ma i dati che possediamo non autorizzano ancora tale conclusione la quale, ovviamente, è ad oggi solo speculativa).
At the upper left, dark wavelike features in the atmosphere encircle the moon's North Pole.
The view shows principally the Saturn-facing Hemisphere on Titan; North is up and rotated 35° to the left.
The image was taken with the Cassini spacecraft narrow-angle camera on Oct. 7, 2005, at a distance of approximately 2,4 MKM (about 1,5 MMs) from Titan and at a phase angle of 33°. The image scale is 14 Km (about 9 miles) per pixel".
