Tethys in 3D — live position and orbit

An icy moon almost as bright as fresh snow, scarred by the vast Ithaca Chasma canyon and the Odysseus impact basin.

Tethys is shown at its real position, computed from NASA/JPL ephemeris data. The view opens on Tethys; you can travel in time, switch between the educational overview and the true-scale voyage, and compare it with every other body of the solar system.
