Caption NASA:"The Cassini Spacecraft looks toward the dark Region of Belet, on Saturn's largest moon, Titan.
This large Region on the moon has a low albedo, meaning it diffusely reflects little light. This view looks toward the area between the Trailing Hemisphere and the Anti-Saturn Side of Titan. North on Titan is up and rotated 8° to the left.
The image was taken with the Cassini Spacecraft wide-angle camera on Dec. 28, 2009 using a spectral filter sensitive to wavelengths of Near-InfraRed Light centered at 939 nanometers. The view was obtained at a distance of approx. 282.000 Km (such as about 175.000 miles) from Titan and at a Sun-Titan-Spacecraft, or Phase, Angle of 45°.
Image scale is roughly 17 Km (about 10 miles) per pixel".
