Cassini performed back-to-back flybys of Saturn moons Tethys and Hyperion last weekend, coming closer than ever before to each of them. Tethys has a scarred, ancient surface, while Hyperion is a strange, spongy-looking body with dark-floored craters that speckle its surface.
New images, mosaics and a movie of these bodies are available at http://saturn.jpl.nasa.gov , http://www.nasa.gov/cassini and http://ciclops.org.
