Caption NASA:"The Cassini Spacecraft looks toward the Dark Side of Saturn's largest moon and captures the halo-like ring produced by Sunlight scattering through the periphery of Titan's Atmosphere. A detached, high-altitude Global Haze Layer encircles Titan. This view looks toward the Trailing Hemisphere of Titan (approx. 5150 Km, or 3198,15 miles across). North on Titan is up.
The image was taken with the Cassini Spacecraft narrow-angle camera on Nov. 26, 2010 using a spectral filter sensitive to wavelengths of UltraViolet Light centered at 338 nanometers. The view was obtained at a distance of approx. 1,9 MKM (such as about 1,179 MMs) from Titan and at a Sun-Titan-Spacecraft, or Phase, Angle of 154°.
Image scale is roughly 12 Km (7,452 miles) per pixel".
