Caption NASA:"The colorful globe of Saturn's largest moon, Titan, passes in front of the Planet and its Rings in this True Color snapshot from NASA's Cassini Spacecraft.
The North Polar "Hood" can be seen on Titan and appears as a detached layer at its top. This view looks toward the Northern, sunlit side of the Rings from just above the Ring-Plane.
Images taken using red, green and blue spectral filters were combined to create this Natural Color view. The image was obtained with the Cassini Spacecraft narrow-angle camera on May 21, 2011, at a distance of approx. 1,4 MMs (about 2,3 MKM) from Titan. Image scale is roughly 9 miles (apèprox. 14 Km) per pixel on Titan".
