Tethys and Dione
Original caption:"Saturn's expansive Rings separate the moon's Tethys (at the top) from Dione (at the bottom). Even in this distant view, it is easy to see that the moons' surfaces, and likely their evolutionary paths, are very different. 
Both moons are on the far side of the Rings in this scene, which shows their Saturn-facing Hemispheres (terrain centered on 0° Long.). The dark shadow across the rings is cast by Saturn's Southern Hemisphere. 
Note that the diameter of Tethys is about 1.071 Km while the diameter of Dione is approx. 1.126 Km. 
This image was taken in visible light with the Cassini spacecraft narrow-angle camera on Sept. 12, 2005, at a distance of approx. 2,4 MKM (such as about 1,5 MMs) from Saturn. The image scale is about 17 Km (about 11 miles) per pixel on the two moons".
