Pasadena CA - The Cassini spacecraft captured this view of Saturn's largest moon, Titan (5,150 kilometers, or 3,200 miles across) looking out from slightly beneath the giant planet's ringplane.

The dark Encke gap (325 kilometers, or 200 miles wide) is visible here, as is the narrow F ring.

Cassini took the natural-color image on April 28 using red, green and blue spectral filters on its narrow-angle camera. The spacecraft's distance at the time was approximately 1.8 million kilometers (1.1 million miles) from Titan. Image scale is 11 kilometers (7 miles) per pixel on Titan.
