Saturn above the clouds of Titan - Illustration - Saturn from atop Titan's hydrocarbon haze - Artist's view of the planet Saturn view 80 km above the surface of his satellite Titan. In the plane of the rings of the planet appear from left to right the satellites Enceladus, Dione, Tethys and Rhea. Saturn and its rings would be a majestic sight lording over Titan's hydrocarbon haze. The viewpoint is from 50 miles above Titan's surface and three - quarters of a million miles away from Saturn itself. Four of Saturn's smaller satellites can also be seen along the ring plane: left to right are Enceladus, Dione, Tethys and Rhea. Technically, the orange clouds mark the beginning of Titan's condensate haze, which consists of ethane, methane, nitrogen, and a variety of hydrocarbons known collectively as tholin. These gases and hydrocarbons extend upward another 250 miles, resulting in a bluish, earthlike sky, albeit darker due to Titan's great distance from the Sun. Tholin is created by the interaction of the nitrogen - rich gases with ultraviolet light from the Sun and ultimately precipitates all the way down to Titan's surface. Notwithstanding its flame - like colors, this haze is chilled to minus 330o F
India 70 million years ago - Artist's view - Late Cretaceous India - India seen in the upper cretace about 70 million years ago. The north is upstairs. To the west, Madagascar separates from India. This is how the Indian subcontinent may have appeared 70 million years ago during the Late Cretaceous period. Looking north, immediately to India's west is the island continent of Madagascar and further west is the eastern coast of southern Africa. In the distant past India and Madagascar formed a single continent, however India was part of a separate tectonic plate that subsequently began to drift northward. This northward motion (covering about 8 inches per year making it among the fastest on the Earth's lithosphere) split India from Madagascar and carried it north across the Tethys Ocean until it collided with Eurasia about 50 to 35 million years ago. This collision between the Indian and Eurasian plates joined India to South Asia and created the Tibetan Plateau and the Himalaya Mountains, a process which is still evolving to this day
Archaeopteryx - Archaeopteryx defending - An Archaeopteryx (or Archeopteryx) defends its territory on the shores of the Tethys Ocean 150 million years ago in what is today southern Germany. The Archeopteryx is a dinosaur and is considered the oldest known bird. A feathered Archaeopteryx protects its territory 150 million years ago in what is today southern Germany. About the size of a modern European Magpie, Archaeopteryx is the earliest known example of a fully feathered dinosaur. Despite its resemblance to birds, Archaeopteryx has more in common with small dinosaurs, especially in regard to its clawed arms and tiny teeth. The highly evolved feathers may have permitted Archaeopteryx to glide short distances, however it's unlikely Archaeopteryx could fly like a bird. During the late Jurassic Europe was a dry, tropical archipelago. In this image Archaeopteryx is depicted near the shore of the Tethys Sea
Tethys and Titan, Saturn satellites - Tethys and Titan - The Tethys satellite passes behind the Titan satellite. These images were taken 18 minutes apart (the first image taken is on the right) by the Cassini probe on 26 November 2009 at a distance of 1 million km from Titan and 2.2 million km from Tethys. Saturn's moon Tethys with its prominent Odysseus Crater silently slips behind Saturn's largest moon Titan and then emerges on the other side. Tethys is not actually enshrouded in Titan's atmosphere. Tethys (1,062 kilometers, or 660 miles across) is more than twice as far from Cassini than Titan (5,150 kilometers, or 3,200 miles across) in this sequence. Tethys is 2.2 million kilometers (1.4 million miles) from Cassini. Titan is about 1 million kilometers (621,000 miles) away. These two color views were captured about 18 minutes apart, with the view on the right taking place first. These images are part of a mutual event sequence in which one moon passes close to or in front of another as seen from the spacecraft. Such observations help scientists refine their understanding of the orbits of Saturn's moons. Images taken using red, green and blue spectral filters were combined to create this natural color view. The images were obtained with the Cassini spacecraft narrow - angle camera on Nov. 26, 2009. Image scale is 6 kilometers (4 miles) per pixel on Titan and 13 kilometers (8 miles) per pixel on Tethys
Saturn and satellites seen by the Cassini probe on 30/01/2008 - Saturn and satellites seen by Cassini spacecraft Jan. 30 2008 - Saturn seen by the Cassini probe on 30 January 2008 at a distance of 1.3 million km from the planet. The Tethys satellite is visible under Saturn's rings and the Titan satellite appears at the top of the picture. Titan emerges from behind Saturn, while Tethys streaks into view, in this colorful scene. Saturn's shadow darkens the far arm of the rings near the planet's limb. Titan is 5,150 kilometers (3,200 miles) wide; Tethys is 1,071 kilometers (665 miles) wide. This view looks toward the unilluminated side of the rings from about 3 degrees above the ringplane. Images taken using red, green and blue spectral filters were combined to create this natural color view. The images were acquired with the Cassini spacecraft wide - angle camera on Jan. 30, 2008 at a distance of approximately 1.3 million kilometers (800,000 miles) from Saturn. Image scale is 77 kilometers (48 miles) per pixel on Saturn
Tethys, Saturn satellite, seen by the Cassini probe - Saturn's moon Tethys seen by Cassini spacecraft: The Tethys satellite photographed by the Cassini probe on 11 April 2015 has a distance of 53,000 km from the satellite. Tethys is about 1070 km in diameter. - This enhancement-color mosaic of Saturn's icy moon Tethys shows a range of features on the moon's trailing hemisphere. Tethys is tidally locked to Saturn, so the trailing hemisphere is the side of the moon that always faces opposite its direction of motion as it orbits the planet - Images taken using clear, green, infrared and ultraviolet spectral filters were combined to create the view, which highlights subtle color differences across Tethys' surface at wavelengths not visible to human eyes. The moon's surface is fairly uniform in natural color - The color of the surface changes conspicuously across the disk, from yellowish hues to nearly white. These broad color changes are affected by a number of external processes. First, Saturn's diffuse E-ring preferentially bombards Tethys' leading hemisphere, towards the right side of this image, with ice bright ice grains. At the same time, charged particles from Saturn's radiation belt bombard the surface on the trailing side, causing color changes due to chemical alteration of the materials there. The albedo - a measure of the surface's reflectivity - drops by 10 to 15 percent from the moon's leading side to the trailing side. Similar global color patterns exist on other Saturnian moons - This mosaic is an orthographic projection constructed from 52 Cassini images obtained on April 11, 2015 with the Cassini spacecraft narrow-angle camera. Resolution is about 1,000 feet (300 meters) per pixel. The images were obtained at a distance of approximately 33,000 miles (53,000 kilometers) from Tethys
Dimorphodon - Close up of a Dimorphodon on the edge of the ancient Tethys Ocean. Dimorphodon (Dimorphodon macronyx) is a pterosaur belonging to the family dimorphodontidae and living in the lower Jurassic, between 200 and 180 million years. He had a beak like a puffin. The dimorphodon was about 1 metre long, with a wingspan of 1.4 metres. A close-up of a colorful large-billed Dimorphodon from Early-Jurassic England 195 million years ago. In the background is the ancient Tethys Ocean. While Dimorphodon's coloration is unknown, here an adult male has been given a colorful inspired by modern day puffins and toucans. Dimorphodon was a medium-sized pterosaur (flying reptile) with a wingspan of about four feet and a large head and puffin-like “” beak.”” Its long front teeth suggest that it was built for plucking fish from near the surface of the water. Its head and beak combined were about 9 inches long
Suchomimus - Suchomimus tenerensis fishing - A Suchomimus catches a shark on the edge of the ancient Tethys Ocean in today's North Africa. Suchomimus tenerensis (crocodile mime) was a large carnivorous dinosaur with a jaw similar to that of a crocodile, which lived in the middle of the cretace 110 to 120 million years ago. A five ton, Early Cretaceous Suchomimus snags a shark from a lush estuary near the ancient Tethys Ocean in what today is Northern Africa. Suchomimus was well-armed with long claws and a long, crocodile-like snout with dozens of teeth. Given these distinctly crocodilian features, it's believed that this dinosaur, like modern day crocodiles, dined largely on fish
Saturn view of the surroundings of Dione - Illustration - Saturn from the vicinity of Dione - The planet Saturn seen from the surroundings of its satellite Dione. Dione, visible in the foreground, has a diameter of about 1100 km and is mainly composed of ice. In the background, another Saturn ice satellite is visible, Tethys. This is how Saturn might appear from near Dione, one of Saturn's inner icy satellites. Dione is about 700 miles in diameter and is believed to be composed primarily of water ice along with lesser amounts of silicate rocks. In this image, Dione is in the foreground orbiting about 197 thousand miles above Saturn's cloud tops. Further towards Saturn at a distance of 50 thousand miles from Dione is Tethys, another icy moon, slightly smaller than Dione. Tethys is silhouetted against the “” ring shine”” on Saturn's night side - - reflected sunlight on the cloud tops from Saturn's rings
Tethys, Saturn satellite, seen by the Cassini probe - Saturn's moon Tethys seen by Cassini spacecraft - The Tethys satellite photographed by the Cassini probe on August 30, 2007 at a distance of 97,000 km. Tethys is about 1070 km in diameter. At the top left of the picture is the gigantic impact crater Odysseus, which measures 450 km in diameter. The vast expanse of the crater Odysseus spreads out below Cassini in this mosaic view of Saturn's moon Tethys. The crater (450 kilometers or 280 miles across) is a remarkably well - preserved example of an ancient multi - ringed impact basin: the outer ring is defined by steep, cliff - like walls that descend to generally broad internal terraces. The inner ring is formed by a prominent, crown - shaped, 140 - kilometer (88 - mile) diameter circular band of icy mountains. Multi - ring basins are seen on rocky bodies as well as icy ones. The complex internal structure and multi - ringed nature of these very large basins are believed to arise from the rebound of intense shock waves that penetrated the body at the time of impact. Tethys is 1,071 kilometers (665 miles) across. This mosaic was assembled from four clear filter, narrow - angle camera images. The view is an orthographic projection centered on 3 degrees south latitude, 119 degrees west longitude and has a resolution of 572 meters (0.35 mile) per pixel. An orthographic view is most like the view seen by a distant observer looking through a telescope. North is up. The view was obtained by the Cassini spacecraft on Aug. 30, 2007, from a distance of approximately 97,000 kilometers (60,000 miles) and at a sun - Tethys - spacecraft, or phase, angle of 51 degrees

Similar global color patterns exist on other Saturnian moons - Mountains on the floor of the 280 mile- (450 km-) wide Odysseus impact basin are visible at upper right, around the two o'clock position - This mosaic is an orthographic projection constructed from 52 Cassini images obtained on April 11, 2015 with the Cassini spacecraft narrow-angle camera. Resolution is about 1,000 feet (300 meters) per pixel. The images were obtained at a distance of approximately 33,000 miles (53,000 kilometers) from Tethys

Dimorphodon on the beach - Dimorphodons on the edge of the ancient ocean Tethys. Dimorphodon (Dimorphodon macronyx) is a pterosaur belonging to the family dimorphodontidae and living in the lower Jurassic, between 200 and 180 million years. He had a beak like a puffin. The dimorphodon was about 1 metre long, with a wingspan of 1.4 metres. Winged Dimorphodon pluck fish from the Early-Jurassic Tethys Ocean 195 million years ago in what it is today England. While Dimorphodon's coloration is unknown, here the adult males have been given colorful heads inspired by modern day puffins and toucans. Dimorphodon was a medium-sized pterosaur (flying reptile) with a wingspan of about four feet and a large head and puffin-like “” beak.”” Its long front teeth suggest that it was built for plucking fish from near the surface of the water. Dimorphodon also had a long tail, the end of which is speculated to have sported a soft tissue vane for enhanced stability during flight

Tethys, Saturn satellite, seen by the Cassini probe - Saturn's moon Tethys seen by Cassini spacecraft - The southern pole of the Tethys satellite photographed by the Cassini probe on September 24, 2005. Mosaic of nine images. With this full - disk mosaic, Cassini presents the best view yet of the south pole of Saturn's moon Tethys. The giant rift Ithaca Chasma cuts across the disk. Much of the topography seen here, including that of Ithaca Chasma, has a soft, muted appearance. It is clearly very old and has been heavily bombarded by impacts over time. Many of the fresh - appearing craters (ones with crisp relief) exhibit unusually bright crater floors. The origin of the apparent brightness (or “” albedo”) contrast is not known. It is possible that impacts punched through to a brighter layer underneath, or perhaps it is brighter because of different grain sizes or textures of the crater floor material in comparison to material along the crater walls and surrounding surface. The moon's high southern latitudes, seen here at the bottom, were not imaged by Nasa's Voyager spacecraft during their flybys of Tethys 25 years ago. The mosaic is composed of nine images taken during Cassini's close flyby of Tethys (1,071 kilometers, or 665 miles across) on Sept. 24, 2005, during which the spacecraft passed approximately 1,500 kilometers (930 miles) above the Moon's surface. This view is centered on terrain at approximately 1.2 degrees south latitude and 342 degrees west longitude on Tethys. It has been rotated so that north is up. The clear filter images in this mosaic were taken with the Cassini spacecraft narrow - angle camera at distances ranging from 71,600 kilometers (44,500 miles) to 62,400 kilometers (38,800 miles) from Tethys and at a Sun - Tethys - spacecraft, or phase, angle of 21 degrees. The image scale is 370 meters (1,200 feet) per pixel

Saturn en jour vue par Cassini - Backlit Saturn seen by Cassini - Mosaic of 141 photos obtained by the Cassini probe on 19 July 2013 at a distance of 1.2 million km from the planet. The Cassini probe was then in the shadow of the Planet Saturn; this portrait of the Giant Planet highlights its ring system and seven of its satellites appear in the image. The planets Mars, Venus and Earth are also visible. On July 19, 2013, Nasa's Cassini spacecraft slipped into Saturn's shadow and turned to image the planet, seven of its moons, its inner rings - and, in the background, our home planet, Earth. With both Cassini's wide-angle and narrow-angle cameras aimed at Saturn, Cassini was able to capture 323 images in just over four hours. This final mosaic uses 141 of those wide-angle images. Images taken using the red, green and blue spectral filters of the wide-angle camera were combined and mosaicked together to create this natural-color view. This image spans about 404,880 miles (651,591 kilometers) across. In the lower right of the mosaic, in between the bright blue E ring and the faint but defined G ring, is the pale blue dot of our planet, Earth. Earth's twin, Venus, appears as a bright white dot in the upper left quadrant of the mosaic, also between the G and E rings. Mars also appears as a faint red dot embedded in the outer edge of the E ring, above and to the left of Venus. Cassini was approximately 746,000 miles (1.2 million kilometers) from Saturn when the images in this mosaic were taken.

Saturn and satellites seen by the Hubble Space Telescope - 1995 - Saturn observed by the Hubble Space Telescope on 6 August (top) and 17 November 1995 (bottom). At that time the Earth was almost in the same plane as the rings, which is why they appear seen by the slice. At the top, the Titan satellite projects its shadow on the planet and four satellites are visible on the right (from left to right: Mimas, Tethys, Janus, and Enceladus). The bottom image shows the satellite Dione (lower right) that projects its shadow over the rings of Saturn and Tethys (upper left)
Saturn seen from its satellite Japet - Saturn from Iapetus - The planet Saturn accompanied by three satellites (from left to right Tethys, Rhea and Dione) seen from the icy surface of Japet. In this image Saturn dominates Iapetus' velvet black sky framed by three inner moons. Left to right are Tethys, Rhea and Dione. Less than half the size of the Earth's moon, ice - covered Iapetus is one of the few places in the Solar System that offers a good view of Saturn's rings. This is because Iapetus' orbit is inclined almost 15 degrees to Saturn's equator. With the exception of Phoebe, none of Saturn's other satellites offer such a vantage point. Unlike haze - shrouded Titan, Iapetus has no atmosphere to speak of and is believed to be composed almost entirely of water ice
Saturn en jour seen by Cassini - Backlit Saturn seen by Cassini - Image obtained by the Cassini probe on October 17, 2012 at a distance of 800,000 km from the planet. At the bottom left of the image, the two brilliant dots are the Enceladus and Tethys satellites. Nasa's Cassini spacecraft has delivered a glorious view of Saturn, taken while the spacecraft was in Saturn's shadow. The cameras were turned toward Saturn and the sun so that the planet and rings are backlit. (The sun is behind the planet, which is shielding the cameras from direct sunlight.) In addition to the visual splendor, this special, very - high - phase viewing geometry lets scientists study ring and atmosphere phenomena not easily seen at a lower phase. Also captured in this image are two of Saturn's moons: Enceladus and Tethys. Both appear on the left side of the planet, below the rings. Enceladus is closer to the rings; Tethys is below and to the left. This view looks toward the non - illuminated side of the rings from about 19 degrees below the ring plane. Images taken using infrared, red and violet spectral filters were combined to create this enhanced - color view. The images were obtained with the Cassini spacecraft wide - angle camera on Oct. 17, 2012 at a distance of approximately 500,000 miles (800,000 kilometers) from Saturn. Image scale at Saturn is about 30 miles per pixel (50 kilometers per pixel)

Suchomimus - Suchomimus (crocodile mime) was a large carnivorous dinosaur with a jaw similar to that of a crocodile, living in the middle of the cretace 110 to 120 million years ago. 12 feet tall and weighing five tons, a carnivorous Suchomimus wanders a beach on the ancient Tethys Ocean 115 million ago in search of her next meal. A ferocious predator nearly as big as T-Rex with a crocodile-like head, Suchomimus (“crocodile mimic”) may have lived largely on fish and carrion in what today is Northern Africa

Saturn seen by the Cassini probe on 10 - 09 - 2007 - Saturn seen by Cassini spacecraft Sept. 10 2007. - Saturn seen by the Cassini probe on 10 - 09 - 2007 at a distance of 3.3 million km from the planet shortly before it flew over the Japet satellite. Mosaic of 45 images. Several satellites are visible in this image; from right to left: Titan, Tethys, Rhea, Mimas, Enceladus and Dione. While on final approach for its Sept. 2007 close encounter with Saturn's moon Iapetus, Cassini spun around to take in a sweeping view of the Saturn System. Iapetus (1,468 kilometers, or 912 miles across) is the only major moon of Saturn with a significant inclination to its orbit. From the other major satellites, the rings would appear almost edge - on, but from Iapetus, the rings usually appear at a tilt, as seen here. This natural color mosaic consists of 15 red, green and blue spectral filter images acquired in five wide - angle camera footprints that swept across the scene. Moons visible in this image: Dione (1,126 kilometers, or 700 miles across) at center left, Enceladus (505 kilometers, or 314 miles across) near the left side ansa (or ring edge), Mimas (397 kilometers, or 247 miles across) a speck against the ring shadows on Saturn's western limb, Rhea (1,528 kilometers, or 949 miles across) against the bluish backdrop of the northern hemisphere, Tethys (1,071 kilometers, or 665 miles across) near the right ansa, and Titan (5,150 kilometers, or 3,200 miles across) near lower right. The images were obtained on Sept. 10, 2007, at a distance of approximately 3.3 million kilometers (2.1 million miles) from Saturn at a sun - Saturn - spacecraft, or phase, angle of 33 degrees. Image scale is about 195 kilometers (121 miles) per pixel on the planet
