  Saturn's Moon Tethys   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-06)
Tethys' surface may have been formed in a similar manner, consisting of hazy polar caps of unresolved bright ice patches with a darker zone in-between.
Tethys was previously known to have color differences on its surface, especially on its trailing side, but this kind of color diversity is new to imaging scientists.
Because Tethys was warmer when the impact occurred, the crater floor relaxed to the spherical shape of Tethys' surface, and the crater's rim and central peak collapsed.

Explanation: Tethys is one of the larger and closer moons of Saturn.
Tethys is composed almost completely of water ice and shows a large impact crater that nearly circles the moon.
Because this crater did not disrupt the moon, Tethys is hypothesized to be at least partly liquid in its past.

 Greek Mythology: TETHYS Titan Goddess of Fresh Water, Nursing, & the Sea
TETHYS was the TITANIS earth-goddess of the subterranean sources of fresh water, as well as the patron goddess of the nursing of the young.
Tethys was probably identical to the fish-tailed Titanis Eurynome, one-time Queen of Heaven, who was cast by Kronos into the Ocean-stream along with her husband Ophion.
Tethys was later identified with Thalassa, the female personification of the sea.

 Tethys - Monster of Pretty Soldier Sailor Moon Episode 012
In addition, Tethys appears to have long had unrequited feelings for the Dark General known as Jadeite and apparently devoted much of her energy, time, and effort towards activities she hoped would gain her his favor, undeterred in her actions by either his shabby treatment or his cold and distant attitude towards her.
Among these were the ability to create whirlpools of various sizes that she could use to form mystical gateways in order to travel from place to place or to generate giant snakelike columns of water capable of striking with enough concussive force to punch through the steel hull of a ship.
In addition, Tethys' seawater-based powers also allowed her to generate and maintain highly convincing and lifelike illusions, from giving her water monsters the semblance of being human to making a rusting hulk of a ship appear to be luxury liner.

With the exception of Enceladus, whose surface appears to be virtually pure ice, these moons' surfaces are made of dirty ice, with model suggesting increasing amount of rocky material toward their centers.
Enceladus, Tethys, and Dione all exhibit widely varied crater densities and large canyons, indicating that they have all been substantially affected by geologic activity.
Tethys has a huge canyon system, Ithaca Chasma, that is 3 km deep, up to 100 km wide, and extends three-quarters of the way around the satellite.

 Catalog Page for PIA01392
Voyager 2 obtained this image of Tethys on Aug. 25, when the spacecraft was 594,000 kilometers (368,000 miles) from this satellite of Saturn.
Tethys shows two distinct types of terrain--bright, densely cratered regions; and relatively dark, lightly cratered planes that extend in a broad belt across the satellite.
The densely cratered terrain is believed to be part of the ancient crust of the satellite; the lightly cratered planes are thought to have been formed later by internal processes.

If Tethys were once a ball of liquid water covered with a thin, solid crust, freezing of a thick, watery mantle would have produced enough surface expansion to account for the area of the trough.

The image (right) was taken in visible light with the Cassini spacecraft narrow angle camera on Sept. 9, 2004, at a distance of 8.8 million kilometers (5.5 million miles) from Tethys and at a Sun-Tethys-spacecraft, or phase, angle of 81 degrees.

Species of Tethys, and the closely related genus Melibe, have a large oral hood, used in the capture of food, and a set of prominent cerata down each side of the body.
In Tethys the cerata are smooth, with a pair of small basal gills, while in Melibe the cerata are usually papillate or tuberculate, and there are no basal gills.
Internally, Tethys has no stomach plates, the posterior digestive gland forms a solid mass, surrounded by the gonad, while in Melibe there are a ring of stomach plates, the digestive gland is usually diffuse, branching or broken up some way, and the gonad lies in masses beneath the digestive gland.

I really loved the looks of the Tethys wheels and was pretty disappointed when I could not get them(Through a dealer swap), but after two weeks the Thors really grew on me. LOTS of people have the Tethys so I love how different the Thors look.
The cleaning of the Tethys as was mentioned, is not as complex as you may expect.
Tethys are not available, in the UK at least, so we have stuck with the standard Amalthea 17" rims, which have smooth curves, not sharp 'internal angles' like the Thors, so should be easy to clean.

 New Scientist Breaking News - Cassini captures Tethys in all her glory
This latest image in Saturn’s family album was captured on 18 October at a distance of 3.9 million kilometres from Saturn by the Cassini spacecraft.
The icy moon - the ninth of Saturn’s 33 daughters - was first discovered by astronomer Giovanni Cassini in 1684 and named after the youngest of three mythological titans.
It is thought that the fissure in its surface arose when Tethys was a cooling sphere of liquid; its crust hardened before cracking as the interior solidified.
