Death Star Moon
Featured on August 2, 2017
Tethys floats in front of Saturn and its rings in this view from the Cassini spacecraft. The small moon's most prominent feature is Odysseus crater (bright circle at top right), which makes Tethys look like the death stars of Star Wars fame. Saturn's rings form horizontal bands above Tethys, and cast curved shadows on Saturn itself (below Tethys). [NASA/JPL/SSI]
