Rhea, from 1,8 MKM
|
Caption NASA originale:"The ancient and battered surface of Saturn's moon Rhea shows a notable dark swath of territory near the eastern limb in this image from Cassini.
This view shows principally the Saturn-facing hemisphere on Rhea (1.528 Km across). North is up and tilted 40° to the right.
The image was taken with the Cassini spacecraft narrow-angle camera on March 7, 2005, through a filter sensitive to wavelengths of ultraviolet light centered at 338 nnmts. The view was acquired at a distance of approx. 1,8 MKM (approx. 1,1 MMs) from Rhea and at a phase angle of 30°. Resolution in the original image was 10 Km per pixel.
The image has been contrast-enhanced and magnified by a factor of two to aid visibility".
