Apparently, Cassini will pass within 340 000 km of Titan today. This distance is comparable to the first nontargeted Titan flyby (T-0) just after SOI on July 2, 2004. The phase (120 deg) is unfavorable for imaging, but are any observations planned? I figure Titan's northern latitudes should be exposed, though mostly in darkness.

C/A snapshot here.
