A great Rhea multispectral set recently came down, taken from a distance of around 245 000 km. Here's a RGB composite, Rhea really fills the NAC field of view in this one:

This view looks upward from just beneath the ring plane. The far side of the rings is masked by Saturn's shadow. The north pole of Rhea is obscured by part of the A ring and the sharply defined F ring. - Cassini Reveals New Saturn Ring Features http://www.spacedaily.com/reports/Cassini_...g_Features.html -------------------- "After having some business dealings with men, I am occasionally chagrined, and feel as if I had done some wrong, and it is hard to forget the ugly circumstance. I see that such intercourse long continued would make one thoroughly prosaic, hard, and coarse. But the longest intercourse with Nature, though in her rudest moods, does not thus harden and make coarse. A hard, sensible man whom we liken to a rock is indeed much harder than a rock. From hard, coarse, insensible men with whom I have no sympathy, I go to commune with the rocks, whose hearts are comparatively soft." - Henry David Thoreau, November 15, 1853
