Saturn: Bright Tethys and Ancient Rings

NASA APOD
COSMIC MESSAGE

This image from the Cassini spacecraft shows Saturn's bright moon Tethys and the planet's ancient rings. The age of Saturn's rings is still debated, but their brightness and relatively pristine state suggest they might be younger than Saturn itself. Tethys is one of Saturn's many icy moons.
