Caption NASA:"The Cassini Spacecraft swooped in for a close-up of the cratered, fractured surface of Saturn's moon Dione in this image taken during the Spacecraft's Jan. 27, 2010, non-targeted Fly-By.
Cassini came within about 45.000 Km (approx. 28.000 miles) of the moon during the Fly-By, and this image was acquired at a distance of approx. 46.000 Km (about 29.000 miles).
This view looks toward the Leading Hemisphere of Dione. North on Dione is up. The image was taken in Visible Light with the Cassini Spacecraft narrow-angle camera.
The view was acquired at a Sun-Dione-Spacecraft, or Phase, Angle of 108°. Image scale is roughly 270 meters (886 feet) per pixel".
