Cassini looks toward Saturn's largest moon and maps the dark Belet region on Titan. Lit terrain seen here is in the area between the trailing hemisphere and Saturn-facing side of Titan (5150 kilometers, 3200 miles across). North on Titan is up. The image was taken with the Cassini spacecraft narrow-angle camera on April 24, 2010 using a spectral filter sensitive to wavelengths of ultraviolet light centered at 938 nanometers. The view was acquired at a distance of approximately 1.9 million kilometers (1.2 million miles) from Titan and at a Sun-Titan-spacecraft, or phase, angle of 82 degrees. Image scale is 11 kilometers (7 miles) per pixel.
