Rhea (enhanced but real colors) from about 341.000 Km
|
Original caption:"This close view of Rhea prominently shows two large impact basins on the ancient and battered moon. The great age of these basins is suggested by the large number of smaller craters that are overprinted within them.
Terrain visible in this view is on the side of Rhea that faces away from Saturn. North on Rhea is up and tilted 30° to the left. This enhanced color view was created by combining images taken using filters sensitive to ultraviolet, visible green and infrared light.
The images were taken with the Cassini spacecraft narrow-angle camera on Dec. 23, 2005, at a distance of approximately 341.000 Km (approx. 212.000 miles) from Saturn and at a Sun-Saturn-spacecraft, or phase, angle of 42°. The image scale is approx. 2 Km (a little more than 1 mile) per pixel".
