Caption NASA:"Sunlight scattering through the periphery of Titan's Atmosphere reaches Cassini as the Spacecraft's camera is pointed at the dark side of the Planet. A detached, high-altitude global haze layer encircles the Planet. This view looks toward the Leading Hemisphere of Titan. North on Titan is up.
The image was taken with the Cassini Spacecraft narrow-angle camera on April 2, 2010 using a spectral filter sensitive to wavelengths of UltraViolet Light centered at 338 nanometers. The view was acquired at a distance of approx. 1,5 MKM (about 932.000 miles) from Titan and at a Sun-Titan-Spacecraft, or Phase, Angle of 153°.
Image scale is roughly 9 Km (about 5,7 miles) per pixel".
