False-color global view of Epimetheus, 30 March 2005

False-color global view of Epimetheus, 30 March 2005
False-color global view of Epimetheus, 30 March 2005 Cassini captured this view of Saturn's moon Epimetheus on March 30, 2005, from a distance of only 74,600 kilometers. At 135 by 108 by 105 kilometers in diameter, Epimetheus is similar in size and shape to Lutetia (132 by 101 by 76 kilometers), but the asteroid's surface may look quite different.
