Cassini looks down onto high northern latitudes on Tethys, spying the enormous impact basin Odysseus. Lit terrain seen here is on the anti-Saturn side of Tethys (1,062 kilometers, 660 miles across). North is up. The image was taken in visible light with the Cassini spacecraft narrow-angle camera on March 11, 2008. The view was acquired at a distance of approximately 765,000 kilometers (475,000 miles) from Tethys and at a Sun-Tethys-spacecraft, or phase, angle of 97 degrees. Image scale is 5 kilometers (3 miles) per pixel.
