The Cassini spacecraft looks to the cratered surface of Saturn's second largest moon, Rhea.
Rhea is 1,528 kilometers, or 949 miles, across. This view looks toward the anti-Saturn side of Rhea. North on Rhea is up and rotated 30 degrees to the right.
The image was taken in visible light with the Cassini spacecraft wide-angle camera on June 3, 2010. The view was obtained at a distance of approximately 93,000 kilometers (58,000 miles) from Rhea and at a Sun-Rhea-spacecraft, or phase, angle of 62 degrees. Image scale is 6 kilometers (4 miles) per pixel.
