As artful as it is informative, this captivating portrait captures wispy Dione (1,123 kilometers, 698 miles across) over the shoulder of smoggy Titan (5,150 kilometers, 3,200 miles across) in a single inspiring scene.

The image was taken in visible green light with the narrow angle camera on February 18, 2005, from a distance of approximately 1.3 million kilometers (808,000 miles) from Dione and 2.1 million kilometers (1.3 million miles) from Titan. The image scale is 8 kilometers (5 miles) per pixel on Dione, and 13 kilometers (8 miles) per pixel on Titan.
