This computer rendering shows the surface of
Rhea, Saturn's second largest satellite behind Titan. Like Dione
and Iapetus, there is a noticeable difference between the two
hemispheres of the satellite. Rhea is a densely cratered satellite,
and this image shows two of the most prominent craters, Izanagi
(the larger) and Izanami (the smaller), which partially overlap.
These craters are well into the southern hemisphere. Saturn is
seen on the horizon, and a small meteor is seen striking the surface
inside the Izanagi crater. This image was created at JPL using
KPT Bryce, animation software developed by Jim Blinn, and Adobe
Photoshop. (P-46506AC)
