Rhea - Voyager 1

Mosaic of Saturn's moon Rhea from 80,000 km

Rhea
Mosaic of Voyager 1 images of Saturn's satellite Rhea taken from a distance of about 80,000 km. Rhea is the most heavily cratered moon of Saturn. As the image shows it is virtually blanketed with craters, indicating the surface is very old and has undergone little resurfacing over time. Rhea is about 2,400 km in diameter and north is at 12:30 (Voyager 1, P-23177)
