Tethys and Saturn, in "natural colors"
Original caption:"Tethys floats before the massive, golden-hued globe of Saturn in this natural color view. The thin, dark line of the Rings curves around the horizon at top. 
Visible on Tethys are the huge craters Odysseus (top) and Melanthius (bottom). The view looks toward the anti-Saturn side of Tethys. 
Images taken using red, green and blue spectral filters were combined to create this color view. Tethys is apparently darker than Saturn at these wavelengths. The edge of the Planet appears fuzzy, which may indicate that we are seeing haze layers that are separated from the main cloud deck. 
The images were acquired by the Cassini spacecraft narrow-angle camera on Dec. 3, 2005, at a distance of approx. 2,5 MKM (about 1,6 MMs) from Saturn. The image scale is about 15 Km (app.x 9 miles) per pixel on Saturn and about 13 Km (app.x 8 miles) per pixel on Tethys".
