The image in the upper part of the table reveals a crescent of Titan obtained from the Cassini spacecraft on September 23, 2006. The view whose file name is W00018317.jpg was acquired on the basis of the CB3 filter and on the basis of the CL2 filter. The image had not been validated or calibrated at the time of the observation and a validated or calibrated version of the original view had to be archived with the Planetary Data System proposed by NASA. The surface of the giant moon can't be discerned in the visible spectrum from outer space. The image in the lower part of the table represents a colorized version of the original view.

The image above represents a portion of a radar swath of Titan obtained with the Radar Mapper of the Cassini orbiter during the T-13 Flyby of April 30, 2006. The file name of the original view is BIFQI11S116_D082_T013S01_V03.jpg. A relatively significant contrast between a relatively bright area and a relatively dark area as well as bright sinuous lines or channels can be identified in particular. Each side of the image represents about 100 kilometers (approximately 62 miles).
