Craters on Janus (possible Natural Colors; credits: Lunexit)

Caption NASA:"From hundreds of thousands of kilometers away, the Cassini Spacecraft spies craters on the Surface of the moon Janus.
This view looks toward the Saturn-facing side of Janus (about 179 Km, or approx. 111 miles across). North on Janus is up and rotated 27° to the right. The image was taken in Green Light with the Cassini Spacecraft narrow-angle camera on May 25, 2009.
Scale in the original image was roughly 4 Km (approx. 2,5 miles) per pixel. The image has been magnified by a factor of two and contrast-enhanced to aid visibility.
The view was acquired from a distance of approx. 730.000 Km (such as about 454.000 miles) from Janus and at a Sun-Janus-Spacecraft, or Phase, Angle of 38°".
