Epimetheus, from approx. 990.000 Km

Caption NASA originale:"Saturn's small, irregularly-shaped moon Epimetheus orbits against the backdrop of the planet's rings, which are nearly edge-on in this view. Some of the moon's larger geological features can be seen here. The image was taken in visible light with the Cassini spacecraft narrow-angle camera on Feb. 18, 2005, at a distance of approximately 990.000 Km (approx. 615.000 miles) from Epimetheus and at a phase angle of 99°. Resolution in the original image was 6 Km per pixel. The image has been contrast-enhanced and magnified by a factor of two to aid visibility".
