Map of Titan's Surface (NACO/VLT)
August 23, 2005
This photo is a map of Titan taken with NACO at 1.28 micron (a methane window allowing it to probe down to the surface). On the leading side of Titan, the bright equatorial feature ("Xanadu") is dominating. On the trailing side, the landing site of the Huygens probe is indicated.

Xanadu, Cassini–Huygens, Moons of Saturn, Lakes of Titan, Cassini–Huygens timeline, Huygens probe, Titan, Very Large Telescope
