Description: Cassini image of Dione, highlighting wispy terrain This splendid view showcases Dione's tortured complex of bright cliffs. At lower right is the feature called Cassandra, exhibiting linear rays extending in multiple directions. The trailing hemisphere of Dione (1,126 kilometers, or 700 miles across) is seen here. North is up. The image was taken in polarized green light with the Cassini spacecraft narrow-angle camera on July 24, 2006 at a distance of approximately 263,000 kilometers (163,000 miles) from Dione. Image scale is 2 kilometers (1 mile) per pixel.
