Dione's horizon - HD (1)
|
Original caption:"As it departed its encounter with Saturn's moon Dione, Cassini sailed above an unreal landscape blasted by impacts. The rising Sun throws craters into sharp contrast and reveals steep crater walls.
At the far right, a medium-sized crater is bisected by a fracture, revealing a cross section of the impact site.
The seven clear-filter images in this mosaic were taken with the Cassini spacecraft narrow-angle camera on Oct. 11, 2005, at distances ranging from of 21.650 to 25.580 Km (about 13.450 to 15.890 miles) from Dione and at a Sun-Dione-spacecraft, or phase, angle of 154°. Resolution in the original images ranges from 126 to 154 mt (about 413 to 505 feet) per pixel. The images have been re-sized to have an image scale of about 100 mt (330 feet) per pixel. North on Dione is 140° to the left".
