Caption originale:"Cassini's Eyes - such as its powerful imaging cameras -- bear witness to the majestic and spectacular sights of the Saturn System, as this views attests. Here, the probe gazes upon Titan in the distance beyond Saturn and its dark and graceful Rings.
This view was taken from above the Ring-Plane and looks toward the unlit side of the Rings.
The image was taken using a spectral filter sensitive to wavelengths of infrared light centered at 938 nnmts.
The image was obtained using the Cassini spacecraft narrow-angle camera on May 10, 2006 at a distance of approx. 2,9 MKM (such as about 1,8 MMs) from Saturn and 4,1 MKM (about 2,6 MMs) from Titan.
The image was taken at a phase angle of 149°.
Image scale is about 17 Km (roughly 11 miles) per pixel on Saturn".
