Landslides on Tethys (HR & false colors)
|
Original caption:"This false-color image, created with infrared, green and ultraviolet frames, reveals a wide variety of surface colors across this terrain. The presence of this variety at such small scales may indicate a mixture of different surface materials. Tethys was previously known to have color differences on its surface, especially on its trailing side, but this kind of color diversity is new to imaging scientists.
This view is centered on terrain at approx. 4,2° South Latitude and 357° West Longitude on Tethys. The view has been rotated so that North on Tethys is up.
The images for this view were obtained using the Cassini spacecraft narrow-angle camera at distances ranging from approx. 18.400 to 19.000 Km (about 11.400 to 11.800 miles) from Tethys and at a Sun-Tethys-spacecraft, or phase, angle of 17°. Image scale is 213 mt (700 feet) per pixel".
