Closing in on Titan Target Name:   Titan Spacecraft:   Cassini Orbiter Instrument:   Imaging Science Subsystem - Narrow Angle Produced by:   NASA/JPL/Space Science Institute Copyright:  NASA Copyright Free Policy Cross Reference:   PIA06111 Date Released:  4 July 2004 Related Documents Saturn Saturn's Moon Titan Cassini at Titan Download Options Name Type Width x Height Size PIA06111.jpg JPEG 500 x 500 43K PIA06111.jpg JPEG 928 x 928 140K PIA06111.tif TIFF 928 x 928 862.3 kB Titan's veil begins to lift as Cassini's cameras peer through the hazy moon. This image acquired at a range of 344,000 kilometers (213,700 miles) shows details at Titan's surface never seen before. The image shows only surface brightness no topographic shading. The finest features are less than 10 kilometers (6 miles) across. In other areas the surface boundaries are less distinct perhaps due to different geologic process or atmospheric effects. There are some linear features that could be impact craters but the fact that many features are linear suggests that other geologic processes are shaping the surface.
