Science picture of the day

Two of Saturn's moons slip past each other.

Titan is the large moon in front, with Tethys behind. The image was taken recently by the Cassini spacecraft, which was about 1.6 million km away from Titan. Tethys was another 1.6 million km further away.

The crater that can be seen on Tethys is Odysseus, the moon's largest crater.
