Rocky Sisters
Two Saturnian moons meet in the sky: Dione departs after crossing the face of Rhea for several minutes. 
Dione, at right, has a notably smoother-looking surface than Rhea, thus suggesting the former has been modified more recently. 

The image was taken in visible light with the Cassini spacecraft narrow-angle camera on May 14, 2006 at a distance of approx. 2,7 MKM (such as about 1,7 MMs) from Dione and 3,1 MKM (about 1,9 MMs) from Rhea. 
The phase angle is about 134° on both moons, while the image scale is about 16 Km (such as roughly 10 miles) per pixel on Dione and about 18 Km (11 miles) per pixel on Rhea.
Parole chiave: Saturn's Moons - Dione and Rhea
