'''Tethys''' is the 5th largest moon of [[Saturn]], discovered on 11 March 1684 by [[w:Giovanni Domenico Cassini|Giovanni Domenico Cassini]], who named it Saturn IV, but [[w:John Herschel|John Hershel]] referred to it at Tethys, and that is the name that stuck.

== Tethys in Orbiter ==
Tethys was introduced to [[Orbiter]] with the release of Orbiter 2002, but was also included in a number of [[Add-on|add-ons]] as indicated in the above tables.
