This image of Titan was taken by the Pioneer 11 spacecraft on September 3, 1979 from a range of 3.6 million km. It was constructed from the Pioneer 11 red and blue channel data of image G-14. The quality is limited due the limited quality of the Pioneer imaging system as well as poor telecomunications at the time of the Titan encounter. This is the first image of Titan to clearly show one hemisphere brighter than the other.
