This view of a crescent Saturn mimicked by its moon, Titan, looks toward the sunlit side of the planet's rings from about 3 degrees above the ringplane. Titan's crescent nearly encircles its disk due to the small haze particles high in its atmosphere scattering the incoming light of the distant Sun. The image was taken in violet light with the Cassini spacecraft wide-angle camera on August 11, 2013. The view was obtained at a distance of approximately 1.7 million kilometers from Saturn and at a Sun-Saturn-spacecraft, or phase, angle of 154 degrees. Image scale is 103 kilometers per pixel.
