Dione (HR)

Caption NASA:"The Cassini spacecraft surveys the Southern Hemisphere on Dione's anti-Saturn side, spying a broad impact basin near bottom.
Most of the medium-sized craters visible here have pointed central peaks, owing to the rebound of material following the craters' initial formation.
(in this picture) North on Dione is up.
The image was taken in visible light with the Cassini spacecraft narrow-angle camera on Dec. 19, 2007. The view was obtained at a distance of approx. 240.000 Km (such as about 149.000 miles) from Dione and at a Sun-Dione-spacecraft, or phase, angle of 44°.
Image scale is roughly 1 Km (about 0,6 mile) per pixel".
