Dione, Tethys and Pandora
Original caption:"This excellent grouping of 3 moons - Dione, Tethys and Pandora - near the Rings, provides a sampling of the diversity of worlds that exists in Saturn's Realm. A 330-Km-wide (about 205 miles) impact basin can be seen near the bottom right on Dione (at left). Ithaca Chasma and the Region imaged during the Cassini spacecraft¿s Sept. 24, 2005, flyby can be seen on Tethys (middle). Little Pandora makes a good showing here as well, displaying a hint of surface detail. Tethys is on the far side of the Rings in this view; Dione and Pandora are much nearer to the Cassini spacecraft. 
Rememeber that Dione is approx. 1.126 Km (about 700 miles) across. Tethys is approx. 1.071 Km (about 665 miles) across and Pandora is 84 Km (roughly 52 miles) across.
This image was taken in visible blue light with the Cassini spacecraft narrow-angle camera on Sept. 22, 2005, at a distance of approx. 1,2 MKM (about 800.000 miles) from Saturn. The image scale is about 5 Km (approx. 3 miles) per pixel on Dione and Pandora and 9 kilometers (6 miles) per pixel on Tethys".
