Tethys, or Saturn III, is a medium-sized moon of Saturn. Discovered by GD Cassini in 1684, it takes its name from Tethys in Greek mythology. It is composed of ice and rock. Tethys's surface is very bright. It is the brightest of Saturn's moons after Enceladus.

This image was taken in visible light by the Cassini spacecraft on July 14.
