Dione: over the clouds of Saturn

Original caption:"Cassini prepared for its rendezvous with Dione on Oct. 11, 2005, capturing the brilliant, cratered iceball in front of its shadow-draped planet. The terrain seen here becomes notably darker toward the West, and is crosscut by the bright, fresh canyons that form wispy markings on Dione's Trailing Hemisphere.

The image was taken in visible light with the Cassini wide-angle camera at a distance of approx. 24.500 Km (about 15.200 miles) from Dione and at a phase angle of 22°. The image scale is about 2 Km (about 1 mile) per pixel".
