Caption NASA:"The Odysseus Crater sprawls across the Mid-Latitudes of the Northern Hemisphere of the moon Tethys.
The Odysseus Crater is about 450 Km across. Lit Terrain seen here is on the anti-Saturn side of Tethys (about 1062 Km, or approx. 660 miles across). This view looks down on the moon's North Pole, which lies on the Terminator about a quarter of the way inward from the top edge of the moon in the image.
The image was taken in Visible Light with the Cassini Spacecraft narrow-angle camera on July 11, 2009.
The view was acquired at a distance of approx. 577.000 Km (about 359.000 miles) from Tethys and at a Sun-Tethys-Spacecraft, or Phase, Angle of 65°.
Image scale is roughly 3 Km (a little less than 2 miles) per pixel".
