Caption NASA:"Saturn's moon Tethys shows off its tortured Surface in this Cassini Spacecraft image. On the top left of the image there is huge Odysseus Crater. On the bottom right, instead, there is Ithaca Chasma: a series of Scarps that run North-to-South across the moon for more than 620 miles (approx. 1000 Km). North on Tethys is up and rotated 25° to the right. This view looks toward the area between the Leading Hemisphere and Saturn-facing side of Tethys.
The image was taken in Visible Green Light with the Cassini Spacecraft narrow-angle camera on Sept. 14, 2011. The view was acquired at a distance of approximately 178.000 miles (approx. 287.000 Km) from Tethys and at a Sun-Tethys-Spacecraft, or Phase, Angle of 11°. Image scale is about 1 mile (1,6 Km) per pixel".

p.s.: la "qualità in sè" del frame NASA-Original è penosa, secondo me...
