American space agency NASA said in a statement that its Cassini spacecraft has sent back home images of the largest moon of Saturn i.e. Titan. The craft captured the image during its recent close flyby of the moon.

NASA researchers said the bluish green color shown in the image is although false, it represents the wavelengths of light captured by VIMS; blue at 1.3 microns, green at 2.0 microns and red at 5.0 microns.

The Cassini probe captured the images when it passed by Titan at about 6,000 miles above the surface. The craft has also delivered a high resolution image of one of Saturn's moons, Prometheus, which appears to be good.

The new image shows terrain features of Tiran that are facing Saturn. The area shown in the image includes darker dunes on the Fensal regions up north and Aztlan in the south, forming a region shaped like the letter H, said researchers.

It has been known that Tiran is tidally locked like earth’s moon due to which its same side always faces Saturn all the time.

According to NASA experts, during its flyby, the Cassini probe came within 6,200 miles of Titan, much higher than the usual distance of around 750 miles. Titan's atmosphere is primarily made of nitrogen, and the rest is made up of methane.

Titan is one of the strangest moons in the solar system and is known for its hazy atmosphere. Titan normally appears orange because of its thick hazy atmosphere, said researchers.
