SPACE-SATURN-MOONS
This NASA image received January 27, 2010 shows the heavily cratered Saturn moon Tethys slipping behind Saturn's atmosphere-shrouded Titan in 2009 captured by the robotic Cassini spacecraft orbiting Saturn. The largest crater on Tethys, Odysseus, is easily visible on the distant moon. Titan shows not only its thick and opaque orange lower atmosphere, but also an unusual upper layer of blue-tinted haze. Tethys, at about 2 million kilometers distant, was twice as far from Cassini as was Titan when the above image was taken.
