Shall Odysseus ever find Ithaca? (Stretched Absolute Natural Colors; credits for the add. process.: Dr Paolo C. Fienga-LXTT-IPF)
Caption NASA:"From a highly inclined orbit, the Cassini Spacecraft looks toward far Northern Latitudes on Tethys.
Here, the spacecraft was above a position about 45° North of the moon's Equator.
This vantage point afforded a view of the moon's three most recognizable features: the Ithaca Chasma Canyon System (at lower right), Odysseus Crater (at upper left) and the Equatorial Band of Darker Terrain (at lower left).
Lit terrain seen here is on the Leading Hemisphere of Tethys (1062 Km, or approx. 660 miles across). North is up.

The image was taken in Visible Light with the NASA - Cassini Spacecraft narrow-angle camera on April 29, 2008.
The view was obtained at a distance of approx. 991.000 Km (such as about 616.000 miles) from Tethys and at Phase Angle of 73°.
Image scale is roughly 6 Km (about 4 miles) per pixel".
