Thin lineaments cross back and forth on the surface of Saturn's moon Rhea in this equatorial view. These lines can be seen intersecting craters on Rhea (1528 kilometers, 949 miles across). This view is centered on terrain at 1 degree north latitude, 236 degrees west longitude. See PIA08871 for an earlier, false-color view that includes surface features such as these. The image was taken in visible light with the Cassini spacecraft narrow-angle camera on Jan. 11, 2011. The view was acquired at a distance of approximately 41,000 kilometers (25,000 miles) from Rhea and at a Sun-Rhea-spacecraft, or phase, angle of 15 degrees. Image scale is 238 meters (781 feet) per pixel.
