LYCOS RETRIEVER 
Rhea: Rhea 1
built 655 days ago
Rhea 1 became queen of the universe when her brother and husband Cronos castrated and dethroned their father and ruler Uranus. The cause of that revolt and Castration of Uranus is to be found in Uranus' wicked nature; for he, acting as an stern tyrant and hating his own offspring, hid some or many of his children (the CYCLOPES and the HECATONCHEIRES) away in a secret place on earth, or as some say, cast them into Tartarus, which is a gloomy place in the Underworld as far from Earth as Earth is from Heaven. But Uranus' wife Gaia grieved at the destruction of her children, and being strained and stretched with so many gigantic beings inside her, planned the destruction of her own husband and his rule as a way to set them and herself free.

Cassini named the four moons he discovered (Tethys, Dione, Rhea and Iapetus) Lodoicea Sidera ("the stars of Louis") to honour king Louis XIV. Astronomers fell into the habit of referring to them and Titan as SaturnI through SaturnV. Once Mimas and Enceladus were discovered, in 1789, the numbering scheme was extended to SaturnVII.

Obtained by Voyager 1 in November 1980, this image shows the important features of Rhea. Craters of many sizes are seen, as are a number of bright linear features. They appear to be extensional fractures, and suggest that Rhea has expanded a few percent in size, perhaps due to freezing of water ice in the interior. Similar linear features occur on Dione.

Dayton became the county seat of Rhea County in 1889. A City Council/City Manager form of government operates the City of Dayton. The five members of the City Council are elected at large. An appointed City Manager is responsible for the day-to-day operations of the city and is the senior supervisor for all departments.

Crete was undoubtedly the earliest seat of the worship of Rhea; Diodorus (v. 66) saw the site where her temple had once stood, in the neighbourhood of Cnossus, and it would seem that at one time she was worshipped in that island even under the name of Cybele (Euseb. Chron. p. 56; Syncell. Chronogr. p. 125). The common tradition, further, was that Zeus was born in Crete, either on Mount Dicte or Mount Ida.

This seven-image mosaic is centered on the north pole of Rhea. The rugged, cratered topography is obvious. Several linear troughs or fractures are ... visible, at top and bottom. These were among the highest-resolution images obtained of any icy satellite, with resolutions of about 500 meters (image shown here at 1-kilometer resolution due to large size).
