	Rhea Up Close
		The icy, cratered surface of Saturn's moon Rhea is seen in this high-resolution image taken by Voyager l on November l1, 1980, at a range of 85,000 kilometers (52,800 miles) as the spacecraft passed over the satellite's north pole.
		The craters and landscape resemble those on the Moon and Mercury, and are unlike the flattened crater forms that have collapsed in the soft icy crusts of the Jovian moons Callisto, Ganymede and Europa.
		Scientists believe that Rhea (which is just l,600 kilometers or 995 miles in diameter, compared to the 5,500-kilometer or 3,400- mile diameter of Ganymede) froze and became rigid, behaving like a rocky surface, very early in its history.

		Rhea is the second largest of Saturn's moons, approximately 950 miles in diameter.
		Its density is slightly lower, but still greater than that of most Saturnian moons, indicating that it is made mostly of ice, but has a substantial minority of heavier materials.
		Similar features probably exist on many other moons in the Solar System, but in most cases we don't have close-up images of the moons, and such small detail is not visible.

		The area shown is one of the most heavily cratered on Rhea, and indicates an ancient surface dating back to the period immediately following the formation of the planets 4.5 billion years ago.
		Other areas of Rhea's surface are deficient in the very large (100 kilometers or 62 miles or larger) craters, indicating a change in the nature of the impacting bodies and an early period of surface activity.
		White areas on the edges of several of the craters in the upper right corner are probably fresh ice exposed on steep slopes or possibly deposited by volatiles leaking from fractured regions.
