Color Rhea

[mmcirvin]

Here's a false-color image of the "wispy hemisphere" of Rhea that I made from infrared, green-light, ultraviolet and clear-filter images taken during the Cassini flyby on Tuesday:



It appears that the bluer, brighter "wisps" involve regions of ice cliffs, much as they do on Dione.

(A true-color, visible-light picture of Rhea would be almost completely gray; this compression of the spectrum exaggerates small differences in redness/blueness.)
