Saturn's Full Moon: Ray shines brightly for Cassini

This recently published image of Saturn’s second largest satellite may be mistaken for our own moon, which hangs in the night sky. Although there may not be enough Sea of ​​Rains or the famous crater Tycho, the rocky surface of Rei still has craters that have left an indelible mark on the surface since the beginning of the history of the solar system.

Rhea is 949 miles (1527 kilometers) wide, less than half the size of our own moon. The photograph taken by the Cassini spacecraft camera was produced when the device was at a distance of 990,000 miles (1.6 million kilometers) from Rey.
