Cratered Cliffs of Ice on Saturn's Tethys
Saturn's moon Tethys is covered in icy cliffs and craters, as seen in this image from the Cassini spacecraft. Cassini captured these details from about 32,000 kilometers away, revealing a jagged, cratered landscape. Some craters show a light-colored substance at the bottom, contrasting with a dark substance found in others. Tethys is a frozen world, scarred by impacts and geological processes.
