Tethys (1,062 kilometers, 660 miles across) turns like a great eye as the enormous crater Odysseus (450 kilometers or 280 miles across) rotates into Cassini’s view. The image was taken in visible light with the narrow angle camera on March 6, 2005, from a distance of approximately 1.7 million kilometers (1.1 million miles) from Tethys and from a Sun-Tethys-spacecraft, or phase, angle of 35 degrees. The image scale is 10 kilometers (6 miles) per pixel. The image has been magnified by a factor of two and contrast-enhanced to aid visibility. |
