Japet, satellite of Saturn, seen by Cassini - Crescent of Iapetus seen by Cassini spacecraft....

IMAGE number
PIX4625407
Image title
Japet, satellite of Saturn, seen by Cassini - Crescent of Iapetus seen by Cassini spacecraft. - Mosaic in fake colors of Japet, a satellite of 1436 kilometers in diameter, taken by the Cassini probe on 10 September 2007 has a distance of 83 000 km from the satellite. Iapetus, 1,468 kilometers (912 miles) across, seen here in false color, is unique in its dramatic variation in brightness between the northern polar region and the middle and low latitudes. Equally prominent is the moon's equatorial ridge of towering mountains. The profile of the ridge against the darkness of space reveals that it is topped by a cratered plateau approximately 15 kilometers (9 miles) wide. Further west, the profile of the ridge changes from a long plateau to discrete peaks. The mosaic consists of four image footprints across the surface of Iapetus and has a resolution of 489 meters (0.3 miles) per pixel. The color seen in this view represents an expansion of the wavelength region of the electromagnetic spectrum visible to human eyes. The intense reddish - brown hue of the dark material is far less pronounced in true color images. The use of enhanced color makes the reddish character of the dark material more visible than it would be to the naked eye. In addition, the scene has been brightened to improve the visibility of surface features. This view was acquired with the Cassini spacecraft narrow - angle camera on Sept. 10, 2007, at a distance of about 83,000 kilometers (51,600 miles) from Iapetus
