Epimetheus, from approx. 1,1 MKM
|
Caption NASA originale:"Epimetheus is one of Saturn's "co-orbital moons" because it shares nearly the same orbit as Janus at a distance of approximately 151.000 Km (such as 94.000 miles) from Saturn. Epimetheus is about 116 Km (72 miles) across while Janus is 181 Km (113 miles) across.
The image was taken in visible light with the Cassini spacecraft narrow-angle camera on Feb. 18, 2005, at a distance of approx. 1,1 MKM (684,000 miles) from Epimetheus and at a phase angle of 96°. Resolution in the original image was 6 Km (4 miles) per pixel. The image has been contrast-enhanced and magnified by a factor of four to aid visibility".
