Saturns icy moon Rhea

This giant mosaic reveals Saturns icy moon Rhea in her full, crater-scarred glory. Rhea is Saturns second-largest moon, at 1, 528 kilometers (949 miles) across.
This view consists of 21 clear-filter images and is centered at 0.4 degrees south latitude, 171 degrees west longitude.
The giant Tirawa impact basin is seen above and to the right of center. Tirawa, and another basin to its southwest, are both covered in impact craters, indicating they are quite ancient.
The bright, approximately 40-kilometer-wide (25-mile) ray crater seen in many Cassini views of Rhea is located on the right side of this mosaic (at 12 degrees south latitude, 111 degrees west longitude).
The images in this mosaic were taken with the Cassini spacecraft narrow-angle camera during a close flyby on November 26, 2005
