Rhea's craters
|
Caption NASA originale: "The sunlight angle in this sharp view of Saturn's second-largest moon, Rhea, highlights the moon's crater-strewn surface. Cassini will fly past Rhea on Nov. 26, 2005, at a distance of only 500 Km (such as 311 miles) and will obtain very high resolution images at that time. Rhea's diameter is 1.528 Km(or 949 miles).
This view shows mainly the hemisphere of Rhea that faces away from Saturn. The image was taken in visible light with the Cassini spacecraft narrow angle camera on Nov. 1, 2004, at a distance of 1,6 MKM (or 994.000 miles) from Rhea and at a Sun-Rhea-spacecraft, or phase, angle of 102°. North is up. The image scale is about 10 Km (6 miles) per pixel. The image has been slightly contrast enhanced to aid visibility of surface features.
