Tethys (natural colors - elab. Lunexit)

Caption NASA:"The Cassini spacecraft surveys the battered surface of icy Tethys. The great impact basin straddling the Terminator is itself overprinted by many smaller impact sites.
The view in this image is toward the Southern Hemisphere on the moon's Saturn-facing side. North on Tethys is up and rotated 7° to the right.
The image was taken in visible light with the Cassini spacecraft narrow-angle camera on May 11, 2007. The view was obtained at a distance of approx. 559.000 Km (such as about 347.000 miles) from Tethys and at a phase angle of 60°.
Image scale is roughly 3 Km (about 2 miles) per pixel".
