Caption NASA:"The Cassini Spacecraft looks down on the North Pole of Dione and the fine fractures that cross its Trailing Hemisphere.
The North Pole of Dione lies on the Terminator between shadow and light, about halfway down the left side of the image. This view is centered at 66° North Lat. and 224° West Long.
Lit terrain seen here is on the Trailing Hemisphere and anti-Saturn side of Dione. To learn more about Dione's fractures, see PIA09764.
The image was taken in Visible Light with the Cassini Spacecraft narrow-angle camera on July 11, 2009. The view was obtained at a distance of approx. 429.000 Km (such as about 267.000 miles) from Dione and at a Sun-Dione-Spacecraft, or Phase, Angle of 67°.
Image scale is roughly 3 Km (a little less than 2 miles) per pixel".
