The Surface of Rhea

The surface of Rhea is typical of an icy moon. Rhea is as heavily cratered (despite the appearance of this picture) as Saturn's "death star" moon Mimas on its leading side.

Its trailing side has unusual white streaks extending for many kilometers over its surface. This means Rhea was probably resurfaced at some point and has undergone active processes such as deposits of snow from fractures in the crust.
