Dione-N00086773.jpgCrossing the Rings (2)55 visiteCaption NASA:"N00086773.jpg was taken on July 22, 2007 and received on Earth July 23, 2007. The camera was pointing toward DIONE that, at the time, was approx. 710.911 Km away.
The image was taken using the CL1 and GRN filters and it has not been validated or calibrated".MareKromium

Enceladus-PIA09003.jpgEnceladus (true colors - elab. Lunexit)55 visiteCaption NASA:"This nearly equatorial view shows cratered regions on Enceladus in the central part of its Leading Hemisphere and high Northern Latitudes. Much of the rest of the geologically active moon is relatively crater free and covered by fractures and folds.
North on Enceladus is up.
The image was taken in polarized green light with the Cassini spacecraft narrow-angle camera on June 28, 2007 at a distance of approx. 293.000 Km (about 182.000 miles) from Enceladus.
Image scale is roughly 2 Km (a little more than 1 mile) per pixel".MareKromium

Helene-PIA09015.jpgJust like an old "apple": Helene (False Colors)55 visiteCaption NASA:"The Cassini spacecraft reveals details on the surface of small, irregularly shaped Helene in this close-up view, obtained during the Spacecraft's closest encounter with this moon during its four-year primary mission.
Helene (32 Km, or 20 miles across) is a Trojan Moon, sharing Dione's orbit but staying 60° or 400.000 Km (about 250.000 miles) ahead of the much larger moon.
The image was taken in visible green light with the Cassini spacecraft narrow-angle camera on July 20, 2007. The view was acquired at a distance of approx. 39.000 Km (such as about 24.000 miles) from Helene and at a Sun-Helene-spacecraft, or phase, angle of 61°.
Image scale is roughly 231 meters (758 feet) per pixel".MareKromium

Rhea-W00034589.jpgOn Rhea's Terminator (natural colors: elab. Lunexit)55 visiteCaption NASA:"W00034589.jpg was taken on August 30, 2007 and received on Earth August 30, 2007. The camera was pointing toward RHEA that, at the time, was approximately 17.527 Km away, and the image was taken using the CL1 and CL2 filters.
This image has not been validated or calibrated".MareKromium

Japetus-PIA09970.jpgJapetus55 visiteCaption NASA:"Images taken with Cassini's Ultraviolet Imaging Spectrograph shed some light on the dark side of Saturn's moon Iapetus. Scientists are trying to figure out what painted Iapetus' Dark Side. This is one of the biggest mysteries scientists are trying to answer during the upcoming Sept. 10, 2007, flyby.
The ultraviolet image on the left indicates water ice abundance across the surface: the bright North Polar Terrain (shown in red) is the iciest region in this view. Away from the Pole, as the color shifts to blue, less water ice is present in the surface.
The darkest terrain, which includes very little water ice, is shown in light blue.
The dark sky background viewed during the observation is shown as purple in this color scheme.
The ultraviolet-light image was taken during a flyby in December 2004. A visible light image taken on the same date is shown on the right for reference".MareKromium

Japetus-N00091570.jpgJust a "Slice" of Japetus...55 visiteCaption NASA:"N00091570.jpg was taken on September 05, 2007 and received on Earth September 05, 2007. The camera was pointing toward Japetus that, at the time, was approx. 1.025.448 Km away, and the image was taken using the CL1 and IR1 filters.
This image has not been validated or calibrated".MareKromium
