Nice shot of Rhea against Saturn taken on May 8 2010:
This is the exact same geometry as Planetary Photojournal Image PIA10494. -------------------- Some higher resolution images available at my photostream: http://www.flickr.com/photos/31678681@N07/

What the...?
http://saturn.jpl.nasa.gov/photos/raw/rawi...?imageID=216821 EDIT: OK, now I've figured out why it looks so weird. Low phase angle plus relatively fresh uncratered terrain. We're seeing albedo differences as much as light/shadow differences. Still, it's very weird looking! -------------------- My website - My Patreon - @elakdawalla on Twitter - Please support unmannedspaceflight.com by donating here.

And the automatic contrast stretch is probably messing things up as there's probably no completely black space visible in this image - some shadows though. |
