This Cassini image shows crater-covered Tethys (1,062 kilometers, 660 miles across) as it slid silently along in its orbit while Saturn's delicate rings sliced the view in two. The image was taken in visible light with the narrow angle camera on February 23, 2005, from a distance of approximately 2.1 million kilometers (1.3 million miles) from Tethys and at a Sun-Tethys-spacecraft, or phase, angle of 78 degrees. The image scale is 13 kilometers (8 miles) per pixel.
