Titan , Saturn ’ s largest moon , measures 3,200 miles , or 5,150 kilometers , across and is larger than the planet Mercury . This view looks toward the northern , sunlit side of the rings from just above the ring plane .
This mosaic combines six images -- two each of red , green and blue spectral filters -- to create this natural color view . The images were obtained with the Cassini spacecraft wide-angle camera on May 6 , 2012 , at a distance of approximately 483,000 miles ( 778,000 kilometers ) from Titan . Image scale is 29 miles ( 46 kilometers ) per pixel on Titan .
