Caption NASA:"A large Impact Basin dominates the high Southern Latitudes of Saturn's moon Dione (see also PIA09821 to learn more from a similar image). Lit Terrain seen here is on the anti-Saturn side of Dione (such as the side that never faces Saturn). North on Dione is on the left and rotated 14° towards the upper side of the moon.
The image was taken in Visible Green Light with the Cassini Spacecraft narrow-angle camera on May 25, 2009.
The view was acquired at a distance of approx. 680.000 Km (such as about 420.000 miles) from Dione and at a Sun-Dione-Spacecraft, or Phase, Angle of 68°.
Image scale is 4 Km (about 2,5 miles) per pixel".
