New photos of the moon 'Tethys' pupil of Saturn

A new picture of the moon Tethys pupil of Saturn has just been announced by the US Aerospace Agency.

In the published image, the pupil of Odysseus is shaped like a pupil looking back at the US Air and Space Agency's Cassini spacecraft from Tethys, Saturn's fifth largest moon with sugar 1,062km glass.

Odysseus hole is the largest hole on Saturn's moon Tethys with a diameter of 445km, longer than 2/5 of the diameter of this moon and is one of the largest holes in the Solar System. Odysseus pit is named after the ancient Greek hero Odysseus.

The Tethys moon image was taken in November from a distance of about 366,930 km from the frozen surface at -187 degrees Celsius.

According to NASA, a previous big collision not only created the giant crater named Odysseus, the reaction of the impact also created the peaks called Scheria Montes formed in the center of the sinking pit. Tethys is one of the more than 60 moons of Saturn.

NASA's Cassini spacecraft was launched in 1997 in cooperation with the European Space Agency and the Italian Space Agency, orbiting Saturn's orbit. Cassini is expected to end the mission later this year when entering Saturn's atmosphere.
