In the excitement leading up to the Iapetus flyby twelve days later, the 5000 km-range nontargeted Rhea encounter (49RH) recieved relatively little attention here. As we all know, Rhea is the most dynamic and thrilling of the worlds in orbit around Saturn, and I'm certain that the short shrift it's been given infuriates you all to the point of aneurysm.

The last of the three high resolution observations was taken at roughly 25.000 km. It's a south-to-north transect of a region just to the southeast of the unnamed basin adjacent to Tirawa (whew...you're probably just ast lost as I usually am after that).
Wherever that happens to be, the southermost (bottom) frame has what might be a spectacular crater chain or graben. I'll bet on the latter. Two images from the global mosiac are included to the left for context.
