Caption NASA:"The Cassini Spacecraft looks across the Surface of Saturn's moon Dione and details the so-called "Wispy" Terrain first chronicled by the Voyager probe.
This Fractured Terrain covers the Trailing Hemisphere of Dione (which is about 1123 Km, or approx. 698 miles across). This view is centered on Terrain at approx. 53° North Latitude and 209° West Longitude.
The image was taken in Visible Light with the Cassini Spacecraft narrow-angle camera on Oct. 17, 2010. The view was acquired at a distance of approx. 61.000 Km (about 38.000 miles) from Dione and at a Sun-Dione-Spacecraft, or Phase, Angle of 32°. Image scale is roughly 363 meters (1190 feet) per pixel".
