This image reminds me of when I was young, my parents would line me and my siblings up for pictures, oldest and tallest in the back and youngest and smallest in the front. Here, the Cassini spacecraft sees two of Saturn’s moons lined up for a family photo, showing the hazy orb of giant Titan beyond smaller Tethys.
On Tethys, the large Ithaca Chasma can be seen running roughly north-south for more than 1,000 kilometers (620 miles). Titan’s hazy atmosphere covers up the interesting surface below.
This view looks toward the Saturn-facing sides of Titan (5,150 kilometers, or 3,200 miles across) and Tethys (1,062 kilometers, or 660 miles across).
