Close-up view of Rhea, Saturn's second-largest moon, captured by Voyager 1 in 1980. The image showcases Rhea's heavily cratered surface, a result of its tidally locked rotation, exposing one side to more impacts than the other. The surface is predominantly water ice with a rocky core. Cassini's arrival at Saturn in 2004 provided further study.
