Tethys from approx. 1,9 MKM
|
Caption NASA originale:"This Cassini view of Saturn's moon Tethys shows several large craters near the moon's eastern limb. These craters have fanciful names such as Phemius, Polyphemus and Ajax. The moon's massive rift-like canyon system, Ithaca Chasma, is in the darkness to the west. The image has been rotated so that north on Tethys is up and this view shows mainly the moon's trailing hemisphere. The image was taken in visible blue light with the Cassini spacecraft narrow angle camera on Jan. 19, 2005, at a distance of approximately 1,9 MKM (approx. 1,2 MMs) from Tethys and at a phase angle of 111°. Resolution in the original image was 11 Km (approx. 7 miles) per pixel. The image has been contrast-enhanced and magnified by a factor of two to aid visibility".
