Icy Impact: the Odysseus Basin on Tethys
|
Caption NASA:"The enormous Impact Basin Odysseus sits on the Eastern Limb of icy Tethys.
This view looks toward the Anti-Saturn side of Tethys and North is toward the top of the picture.
The image was taken with the Cassini Spacecraft narrow-angle camera on April 14, 2008 using a spectral filter sensitive to wavelengths of ultraviolet light centered at 338 nanometers. The view was obtained at a distance of approx. 1,1 MKM (such as about 714.000 miles) from Tethys and at a Phase Angle of 26°.
Image scale is roughly 7 Km (about 4 miles) per pixel".
