Odysseus Crater, with a size of epic proportions, stretches across a large northern expanse on Saturn's moon Tethys. This view looks toward the leading hemisphere of Tethys (1,062 kilometers, or 660 miles across) — Odysseus Crater is 450 kilometers, or 280 miles, across. North on Tethys is up and rotated 3 degrees to the right.


The image was taken in visible green light with the Cassini spacecraft narrow-angle camera on February 14, 2010. The view was obtained at a distance of approximately 178,000 kilometers (111,000 miles) from Tethys and at a Sun-Tethys-spacecraft, or phase, angle of 73 degrees. Image scale is about 1 kilometer (about 3,485 feet) per pixel.
