This view is centered on terrain at 49 degrees north latitude, 243 degrees west longitude. The north pole of Titan is rotated about 23 degrees to the left and it lies on the terminator above and to the left of the center of the image. Images taken using red, green and blue spectral filters were combined to create this natural color view of Titan (5150 kilometers, or 3200 miles across). The images were obtained with the Cassini spacecraft wide-angle camera on June 6, 2009 at a distance of approximately 194,000 kilometers (121,000 miles) from Titan. Image scale is 11 kilometers (7 miles) per pixel. (Credit: NASA/JPL/Space Science Institute)
