Caption NASA:"Bright, wispy-looking fractures reach across the rugged, icy landscape of Dione (see PIA06163 for a close-up view of Dione's icy canyons). The medium-sized crater Dido, with its prominent central peak, sits just right of the Terminator, below center.
This view looks toward the Saturn-facing Side of Dione. North is toward the top and rotated 6° to the left.
The image was taken in visible light with the Cassini Spacecraft narrow-angle camera on July 21, 2008. The view was acquired at a distance of approx 290.000 Km (such as about 180.000 miles) from Dione and at a Sun-Dione-Spacecraft, or Phase, Angle of 89°.
Image scale is roughly 2 Km (a little more than 1 mile) per pixel".
