Tethys and Calypso
|
Caption NASA:"Two companion moons share the sky before the Cassini Spacecraft. Tethys is seen here with one of its two Trojan moons. Calypso, which trails the larger moon in its orbit by 60°, is a couple of pixels across near lower right. Telesto (not pictured) is the other Tethys co-orbital moon, leading Tethys by 60°.
The image was taken in visible light with the Cassini spacecraft narrow-angle camera on Aug. 25, 2007. The view was obtained at a distance of approx. 2,2 MKM (about 1,4 MMs) from Tethys.
Image scale is roughly 13 Km (about 8 miles) per pixel on Tethys".
