Hyperion (Absolute Natural Colors; credits for the additional process. and color.: Dr Paolo C. Fienga - Lunexit Team)
Caption NASA:The Cassini Spacecraft looks at Saturn's highly irregular moon Hyperion in this view taken from the Spacecraft's during the Fly-By that occurred on August, 25th, 2011. Hyperion (approx. 168 miles, or about 270 Km across) has an irregular shape, and it tumbles through its orbit: that is, it does not spin at a constant rate or in a constant orientation. (A standard reference latitude-longitude system has not yet been devised for this moon) 
Images such as this one extend previous coverage and allow a better inventory of the Surface Features, the satellite's shape and changes in its spin.

The image was taken with the Cassini Spacecraft narrow-angle camera using a combination of spectral filters sensitive to wavelengths of Polarized Green Light centered at 617 and 568 nanometers. The view was obtained at a distance of approx. 36.000 miles (such as about 58.000 Km) from Hyperion and at a Phase Angle of 43° degrees. Image scale is 1145 feet (349 meters) per pixel".
