Caption NASA:"The battered features of the moon Rhea, seen at low phase, appear washed out by the Sun.
This view looks toward the Saturn-facing side of Rhea at a Sun-Rhea-Spacecraft, or Phase, Angle of 15°. To see Rhea at an even lower phase angle -- near opposition -- see PIA10542.
North on Rhea is up and rotated 7° to the left.
The image was taken in Visible Light with the Cassini spacecraft narrow-angle camera on May 26, 2009. The view was obtained from a distance of approx. 1,4 MKM (such as about 870.000 miles) from Rhea.
Image scale is roughly 9 Km (approx. 5,5 miles) per pixel".
