Southern View of Rhea
|
Caption NASA:"Rhea's bright ray crater features prominently in this southern view. The feature is surrounded by bright ejecta — material thrown outward by the impact that formed the crater.
The view looks toward High Southern Latitudes on Rhea from a perspective 49 degrees below the icy moon's Equator. Rhea's South Pole is at bottom center.
The image was taken in visible green light with the Cassini Spacecraft narrow-angle camera on July 29, 2008. The view was acquired at a distance of approx. 413,000 Km (such as about 257.000 miles) from Rhea and at a Sun-Rhea-Spacecraft, or Phase, Angle of 44°.
Image scale is roughly 2 Km (a little more than 1 mile) per pixel".
