Image title
Titan, Saturn satellite seen by Cassini - Saturn's moon Titan as seen by Cassini spacecraft: Visible and infrared composite image of Titan taken by the Cassini probe on November 13, 2015. View of the hemisphere oriente towards Saturn - This composite image shows an infrared view of Saturn's moon Titan from Nasa's Cassini spacecraft, acquired during the mission's “” T-114”” flyby on Nov. 13, 2015. The spacecraft's visual and infrared mapping spectrometer (VIMS) instrument made these observations, in which blue represents wavelengths centered at 1.3 microns, green represents 2.0 microns, and red represents 5.0 microns. A view at visible wavelengths (centered around 0.5 microns) would show only Titan's hazy atmosphere (as in PIA14909). The near-infrared wavelengths in this image allow Cassini's vision to penetrate the haze and reveal the moon's surface - During this Titan flyby, the spacecraft's close-approach altitude was 6,200 miles (10,000 kilometers), which is considerably higher than those of typical flybys, which are around 750 miles (1,200 kilometers). The high flyby allowed VIMS to gather moderate-resolution views over wide areas (typically at a few kilometers per pixel) - The view looks toward terrain that is mostly on the Saturn-facing hemisphere of Titan. The scene features the parallel, dark, dune-filled regions named Fensal (to the north) and Aztlan (to the south), which form the shape of a sideways letter “” H.””” - Several places on the image show the surface at higher resolution than elsewhere. These areas, called subframes, show more detail because they were acquired near closest approach. They have finer resolution, but cover smaller areas than data obtained when Cassini was farther away from Titan - Near the limb at left, above center, is the best VIMS view so far of Titan's largest confirmed impact crater, Menrva. Similarly detailed subframes show eastern Xanadu, the basin Hotei Regio, and channels within bright terrains east of Xanadu. - Due to the
