Description	English: The Cassini spacecraft looks toward the dark side of Saturn's largest moon as a circle of light is produced by sunlight scattering through the periphery of Titan's atmosphere. A detached, high-altitude global haze layer encircles the moon. See PIA07774 to learn more. North on Titan (5,150 kilometers, or 3,200 miles across) is up and rotated 2 degrees to the left. The image was taken in visible blue light with the Cassini spacecraft narrow-angle camera on Oct. 9, 2009. The view was acquired at a distance of approximately 1.4 million kilometers (870,000 miles) from Titan and at a Sun-Titan-spacecraft, or phase, angle of 157 degrees. Image scale is 9 kilometers (6 miles) per pixel.
