Summary
[edit]Cassini spacecraft image of Janus, one of Saturn's inner moonlets, acquired on 2008-06-30.
DescriptionPIA10447 Janus.jpg |
This shadowy scene is one of Cassini's closest views of Saturn's moon Janus. The slopes of some craters here display hints of the darker material better seen on Epimetheus in PIA09813. A bright linear feature runs up the wall of the large crater at bottom center. The view looks toward southern latitudes on Janus (179 kilometers, 111 miles across). North is up and rotated 58 degrees to the right. The image was taken in visible light with the Cassini spacecraft narrow-angle camera on June 30, 2008. The view was obtained at a distance of approximately 33,000 kilometers (21,000 miles) from Janus and at a Sun-Janus-spacecraft, or phase, angle of 120 degrees. Image scale is 200 meters (656 feet) per pixel. The Cassini Equinox Mission is a joint United States and European endeavor. The Jet Propulsion Laboratory, a division of the California Institute of Technology in Pasadena, manages the mission for NASA's Science Mission Directorate, Washington, D.C. The Cassini orbiter was designed, developed and assembled at JPL. The imaging team consists of scientists from the US, England, France, and Germany. The imaging operations center and team lead (Dr. C. Porco) are based at the Space Science Institute in Boulder, Colo.
