Rhea on the edge.
Wallpaper: Rhea Portrait
Rhea is the second largest of Saturn’s moons but lacks any of the exciting features of some of the others. It has some of the “wispy” features that have been determined to be ice cliffs on Dione, but they are far less prominent here. Just another big ball of water ice for future earth visitors to mine for resources!
Wallpaper: Rhea and Saturn
The moon Rhea is pictured drifting across Saturn’s disc. Rhea is one of 3 medium sized moons (including Tethys and Dione) which are largely composed of ice with small amounts of rock and whose features consist mostly of craters. Rhea also displays the “wispy” lines that appear on Dione, so it is assumed that these are also ice cliffs as determined to be on Dione.
IMAGE NOTE: This image was not altered other than extending Saturn’s rings to fill the page on the right side. The original image was in square format so the subtle ring outlines were more cropped than seen here.
