Caption NASA:"Odysseus Crater, with a size of epic proportions, stretches across a large Northern Expanse on Saturn's moon Tethys.
This view looks toward the Leading Hemisphere of Tethys. Odysseus Crater is about 450 Km, or approx. 280 miles, across. North on Tethys is up and rotated 3° to the right.
The image was taken in Visible Green Light with the Cassini Spacecraft narrow-angle camera on Feb. 14, 2010. The view was obtained at a distance of approx. 178.000 Km (such as about 111.000 miles) from Tethys and at a Sun-Tethys-Spacecraft, or Phase, Angle of 73°.
Image scale is about 1 Km (3485 feet) per pixel".
