Interesting facts

• Like Earth’s Moon, and like many of Saturn’s other moons, Rhea is tidally locked to Saturn (meaning the same hemisphere always faces Saturn).
• Another way that Rhea resembles many of Saturn’s other moons is that its leading hemisphere has a different color than its trailing hemisphere.
