This richly textured look at Saturn's moon Tethys shows the huge crater
Odysseus and its central mountain in relief, as well as many smaller
impact sites. Vertical relief on solid solar system bodies is often most
easily visible near the terminator (the line between day and night).
Tethys is 1,071 kilometers (665 miles) across.
North on Tethys is up in this view. The lit portion of Tethys seen here
is on the moon's leading hemisphere as it orbits Saturn.
The image was taken in visible light with the Cassini spacecraft
narrow-angle camera on June 27, 2005, at a distance of approximately
490,000 kilometers (304,000 miles) from Tethys and at a
Sun-Tethys-spacecraft, or phase, angle of 117 degrees. The image scale is
3 kilometers (2 miles) per pixel.
