(Nov 23, 2004) NASA's Cassini spacecraft took this image of Saturn and one of its moons, Tethys. This image was taken on Oct. 18, 2004 when the spacecraft was 3.9 million km (2.4 million miles) away from Tethys, which is only 1,060 km (659 miles) across.

What a great little image of Tethys next to Mother Saturn. The detail is great, as we can observe all the little storms on the surface and the "crack" on the moon.
Here is the most clearest and detailed look at Tethys so far, better and closer than what Voyager gave us.
Quite cool, but it seems like the images are slow in coming. I would have thought we should have received more than have been released so far.
C'mon NASA, what"s the delay?
