Caption NASA:"Craters large and small cover the rugged surface of Saturn's moon Janus.
This view looks toward the Southern Hemisphere of Janus (about 179 Km, or approx. 111 miles across at its widest point). The moon's South Pole is at center.
The image was taken with the Cassini Spacecraft narrow-angle camera on May 26, 2008 using a spectral filter sensitive to wavelengths of IR light centered at 930 nanometers. The view was acquired at a distance of approx. 186.000 Km (such as about 115.000 miles) from Janus and at a Sun-Janus-Spacecraft, or Phase, angle of 83°.
Image scale is roughly 1 Km (about 0,6 miles) per pixel".
