From just beneath the ringplane, Cassini stares at Janus (181 kilometers, or 113 miles across).

The image was taken in visible light with the Cassini spacecraft narrow-angle camera on April 29, 2006 at a distance of approximately 218,000 kilometers (135,000 miles) from Janus. Image scale is about 1 kilometer (0.6 mile) per pixel.
