The "fractured face" of Dione
|
Caption NASA:"The fractured terrain so distinctive to Dione curves away toward the South in this view, which looks down at the moon's Northern Hemisphere.
Lit terrain in this view is on the Saturn-Facing Hemisphere of Dione.
The image was taken in visible light with the Cassini spacecraft narrow-angle camera on Nov. 22, 2006 at a distance of approx. 943.000 Km (about 586.000 miles) from Dione and at a Sun-Dione-spacecraft, or phase, angle of 109°.
Image scale is roughly 6 Km (a little less than 4 miles) per pixel".
