Crescent Tethys
|
Caption NASA:"The pockmarked crescent of Tethys displays slightly darker terrain in a band at its Equator. The rim of the great crater Odysseus lurks on the Terminator.
Lit terrain seen here is on the Leading Hemisphere of Tethys. North is up.
The image was taken in visible light with the Cassini spacecraft wide-angle camera on Aug. 29, 2007. The view was obtained at a distance of approx. 56.000 Km (such as about 35.000 miles) from Tethys and at a Sun-Tethys-spacecraft, or phase, angle of 105°.
Image scale is roughly 3 Km (about 2 miles) per pixel".
