Caption NASA:"The Terminator between light and dark throws Rhea's cratered surface into stark relief while the Southern Hemisphere is scored by bright icy cliffs.
North on Rhea is up and rotated 42° to the right in this 2-tile mosaic. This view looks toward the Leading Hemisphere of Rhea (approx. 1528 Km, or about 949 miles across).
The image was taken in visible light with the Cassini spacecraft narrow-angle camera on Feb. 2, 2009. The view was acquired at a distance of approx. 181.000 Km (such as about 112.000 miles) from Rhea and at a Sun-Rhea-Spacecraft, or Phase, Angle of 91°.
Image scale is roughly 1 Km (about 3300 feet) per pixel".
