Caption NASA:"The Cassini Spacecraft examines the characteristics of Titan's Atmosphere as it peers at Saturn's largest moon using a filter sensitive to Visible Violet Light.
This image shows Atmospheric Banding around Titan's North Pole and reveals hints of the moon's seasonal Hemispheric Dichotomy near the Equator. (to learn more about the Northern Bands, please refer to images PIA08868 and PIA08928).
This view looks toward the anti-Saturn side of Titan. North on Titan is up and rotated 23° to the left.
The image was taken in Visible Violet Light with the Cassini Spacecraft wide-angle camera on June 21, 2010. The view was obtained at a distance of approx. 170.000 Km (about 106.000 miles) from Titan and at a Sun-Titan-Spacecraft, or Phase, Angle of 33°.
Image scale is roughly 10 Km (about 6,2 miles) per pixel".
