Flying over Adiri
|
Caption NASA:"Within the windswept wastes of Titan's Equatorial Dune Desert lies the 1.700-Km (1.050-mi) wide bright Region called Adiri, seen here at center.
The intrepid Huygens probe landed off the North-Eastern edge of Adiri in January 2005.
This view looks toward the Anti-Saturn side of Titan (5.150 Km, or about 3.200 miles across) -- the side that always faces away from Saturn as the moon orbits. North on Titan is up and rotated 26° to the right.
The image was taken using a spectral filter sensitive to wavelengths of infrared light centered at 939 nanometers. The view was acquired with the Cassini spacecraft wide-angle camera on June 14, 2007 at a distance of approx. 157.000 Km (about 98.000 miles) from Titan. Image scale is roughly 9 Km (about 6 miles) per pixel".
