Rhea From about 50,000 km
Tags: Curiosity · Exploration
Curious what Rhea looked like during Cassini’s close flyby? In this post I unpack the 30th’s images, why the closest frames look so bright, and how to make a false color RGB composite in Photoshop using IR1, GRN and VIO. I also include clear filter shots at 58,731 km and 61,602 km with crater rim detail and a Dione comparison.
