In the Light of Saturn...

Caption NASA originale:"The wispy fractured terrain on Dione is illuminated here by the so-called "Saturnshine", such as the dim reflected light from the planet.
The region pictured on Dione is on the moon's Saturn-facing Hemisphere. North is up.
The image was taken in polarized green light with the Cassini spacecraft narrow-angle camera on March 24, 2006, at a distance of approximately 2,2 MKM (such as about 1,4 MMs) from Dione and at a phase angle of 162°. Resolution in the original image was about 13 Km (approx. 8 miles) per pixel. The image has been magnified by a factor of two and contrast-enhanced to aid visibility".
