This global map of Saturn's moon Tethys was created using images taken during Cassini spacecraft flybys, with Voyager images filling in the gaps in Cassini's coverage.
The map is an equidistant projection and has a scale of 292.5 meters (959.6 feet) per pixel. The mean radius of Tethys used for projection of this map is 536.3 kilometers (333.2 miles). The resolution of the map is 32 pixels per degree. This updated map has been shifted east by 1.5 degrees of longitude, compared to the previously released Cassini product (see PIA08345), in order to conform to the International Astronomical Union longitude system convention for Tethys.
The NASA website hosts a large number of images from the Soviet/Russian space agency, and other non-American space agencies. These are not necessarily in the public domain.
