Global map of Saturn's moon Dione.
May 20, 2008 - This global map of Saturn's moon Dione was created using images taken during Cassini spacecraft flybys, with Voyager images filling in the gaps in Cassini's coverage. An extensive system of bright ice cliffs created by tectonic fractures adorns the moon's trailing hemisphere. The map is a simple cylindrical (equidistant) projection and has a scale of 614 meters (2,014 feet) per pixel at the equator. The mean radius of Dione used for projection of this map is 562 kilometers (349 miles).
