Saturn's moon Dione, Cassini image. The image is a composite of images taken at ultraviolet, green and infrared wavelengths. Dione has a diameter of 1123 kilometres and orbits some 377,000 kilometres from Saturn. Although some craters are visible on its surface, their uneven distribution and the presence of overlying cliffs and valleys indicates that the surface has seen relatively recent geological activity. This image was taken on 24th December 2005 while Cassini was some 151,000 kilometres from Dione.
