This image of the 450 kilometres wide Odysseus impact basin on Tethys was taken in visible light with the Cassini spacecraft narrow-angle camera on July 21, 2007. The medium-sized crater Melanthius is seen along the terminator at lower left.

The view was obtained at a distance of approximately 211,000 kilometres from Tethys and at a Sun-Tethys-spacecraft, or phase, angle of 46 degrees.
Image scale is 1 kilometre per pixel.

The Cassini spacecraft captured an image of three Saturnian moons grouped together; Tethys (upper right), with its enormous crater Odysseus, Epimetheus (left), above the rings, and Pandora (below).

This view of Tethys was captured by the Casssini spaceprobe on May 27, 2007 using a combination of spectral filters sensitive to wavelengths of light centred at 298 and 338 nanometers, and shows Ithaca Chasma near the centre of this image. The moon's western limb is flattened due to the rim of the Odysseus impact basin .

North on Tethys is up and rotated 24 degrees to the left.
This view looks toward the moon's Saturn-facing hemisphere.
The image was obtained with the spacecraft narrow-angle camera at a distance of approximately 267,000 kilometres from Tethys and at a Sun-Tethys-spacecraft, or phase, angle of 13 degrees.

The Cassini spacecraft imaged the icy world of Tethys on May 11, 2007.
This view looks towards the southern hemisphere on the moon's Saturn-facing side. North on Tethys is up and rotated 7 degrees to the right.
