Here's the actual view of Titan from Cassini on May 10th (click on image below) showing that SSS's view is incorrect regarding the Titan surface actually illuminated (i.e. Adiri is actually in darkness in the Cassini photo). The Celestia grid view shows the correct orientation and visible surface of Titan for the Cassini photo.
