Caption NASA:"The prominent crater Telemachus sits within the northern reaches of Ithaca Chasma on Saturn's moon Tethys.
Ithaca Chasma is an enormous rift that stretches more than 1000 Km (approx. 620 miles) from North to South across Tethys.
This view looks toward the Saturn-facing Side of Tethys from a position 55° North of the moon's Equator. The image was taken in visible light with the Cassini Spacecraft narrow-angle camera on Sept. 24, 2008.
The view was acquired at a distance of approx. 151.000 Km (such as about 94.000 miles) from Tethys and at a Sun-Tethy-Spacecraft, or Phase, Angle of 61°.
Image scale is 903 meters (2962 feet) per pixel".
