Titan Approaches Saturn
|
Swathed in its thick blanket of atmosphere, frigid Titan approaches the brilliant limb of Saturn. This view was obtained just minutes after the wide-angle view, PIA09856. Images taken using red, green and blue spectral filters were combined to create this natural color view. The images were acquired with the Cassini spacecraft narrow-angle camera on Jan. 29, 2008 at a distance of approximately 2.3 million kilometers (1.4 million miles) from Titan. Image scale is 14 kilometers (8 miles) per pixel. |

A really fine way to end this exciting week. I really like how the NAC comprises the perspective and makes Titan to appear as it was just about to touch Saturn. Thanks again for this great stuff.
