Terrain seen here is on the trailing hemisphere of Titan (5,150 kilometers, or 3,200 miles across), which is facing Saturn. This view is centered on 54 degrees north latitude, 251 degrees west longitude. Titan’s north pole lies on the terminator about one-third of the way inward from the top of the image. The image was taken in violet light with the Cassini spacecraft wide-angle camera on May 21, 2009. The view was obtained at a distance of approximately 147,000 kilometers (91,000 miles) from Titan and at a Sun-Titan-spacecraft, or phase, angle of 121 degrees. Image scale is 9 kilometers (6 miles) per pixel. (Credit: NASA/JPL/Space Science Institute)
