Caption originale:"Mimas briefly slipped in front of Tethys while the Cassini spacecraft looked on and captured the event in this series of images.
The images were taken in visible light with the Cassini spacecraft narrow-angle camera on Feb. 11, 2006, at a distance of approx. 3,7 MKM (such as about 2,3 MMs) from Mimas and 4,1 MKM (such as about 2,5 MMs) from Tethys. Resolution in the original images was approx. 22 Km (about 14 miles) per pixel on Mimas and approx. 25 Km (about 16 miles) per pixel on Tethys.
The images have been magnified by a factor of two".
