NASA's Image Of Saturn's Moon Looks Like 'Death Star:' What We Need To Know About Tethys!

NASA has a photo of Saturn's moon and it looks like the "Death Star" of Star Wars. This circle that can be found on Saturn's moon is said to be a crater which happened after an impact.

According to a report, the Cassini spacecraft of NASA took a photo of Saturn's moon named Tethys. The crater in the center of the moon which happened during an impact years ago is known as Odysseus. The report indicates that this crater looks like the "Death Star" from Star Wars.

Tethys is known to be 660 miles across. It is noted in the report that the impact did not just create the crater named Odysseus it also caused some mountainous peak. This mountainous peak is found at the center of the crater and is named Scheria Montes.

A report also indicates that Tethys is the fifth largest moon in Saturn. This photo that has been released by NASA of the Tethys that looks like the Death Star has been shot in November. It has been shot 228,000 miles from the moon's surface. The moon's surface is said to be -305 degrees Fahrenheit.

The Cassini Spacecraft of NASA which took the shot in 2004 had been orbiting around Saturn since then. This spacecraft is a collaboration of NASA with the European Space Agency and the Italian Space Agency. The spacecraft has been making its rounds for a while now.

Meanwhile, just recently, NASA's Cassini also released a photo of a tiny moon called Daphnis. This has been found near the rings of Saturn. The image of Daphnis had been shot in January 16, 2017 which is 17,000 miles away from the moon.

Daphnis is known to reside in the 26-mile Keeler Gap of Saturn's outer A ring. The moon is tiny and despite of that it creates ripples along the ring' horizontal and vertical direction.
