Tethys

Card 1 of 2

A Moon of Saturn

The image showcases Tethys, one of Saturn’s moons. It is a spherical celestial body with a heavily cratered surface, primarily gray in color. The texture of the moon appears rough and uneven, with numerous craters of varying sizes scattered across its facade. A prominent, large crater is visible on the right side, casting distinct shadows and highlighting its depth and circumference. The lighting creates a clear contrast, with the left side appearing slightly darker due to the shadow.

Ice

The image shows a spherical model illustrating the interior of Tethys, one of Saturn’s moons. The sphere is divided into two halves. The left half displays the moon's cratered surface, characterized by numerous craters and rough textures in varying shades of gray. The right half reveals a cross-sectional view, featuring a solid, uniform dark gray core surrounded by a lighter gray layer that mimics the moon’s outer icy shell.
