This image from the Cassini mission collects three of Saturn's moons in one image. The largest of the three, Tethys (image center), is round and has a variety of terrains across its surface. Hyperion (to the upper-left of Tethys) is known for its chaotic spin and Prometheus (lower-left) is the tiny moon that sculpts the F ring. This view looks toward the sunlit side of the rings from about 1 degree above the ringplane. The image was taken in visible light with the Cassini spacecraft narrow-angle camera on July 14, 2014. It was acquired at a distance of approximately 1.2 million miles (1.9 million kilometers) from Tethys and at a Sun-Tethys-spacecraft, or phase, angle of 22 degrees.
