Caption NASA:"The tortured Terrain of Saturn's moon Dione is documented in this Cassini Spacecraft image.
The wispy fractures on the moon's Trailing Hemisphere can be seen on the left of the image, and Cratered Terrain on the moon's anti-Saturn side dominates the center of the image. North on Dione is up.
The image was taken in Visible Light with the Cassini Spacecraft narrow-angle camera on Nov. 23, 2009. The view was acquired at a distance of approx. 896.000 Km (such as about 557.000 miles) from Dione and at a Sun-Dione-Spacecraft, or Phase, Angle of 81°.
Image scale is roughly 5 Km (a little more than 3 miles) per pixel".
