Dione-fractures-20100904

            Closeup Image of Dione acquired by the Cassini spacecraft on September 3, 2010 from a distance of 40,000 km using the narrow angle camera (NAC)

Image is a HiPass enhanced LRGB composite from Cassini Raw images.  The HiPass and Luminance layers are the CL1 CL2 image, The R is 80% IR4 and GRN, G = 100% GRN, and B is 80% UV2 and 20% GRN.

In the image large fractures run from top to bottom.  A large crater with a central peak is in the center and cuts through the fracture.  The fracture can be seen in the edges of the crater walls.  To the right (towards the terminator) fractures are seen that are orthogonal to the larger fractures at center.  To the left, faint thin, straight fractures can be seen that angle from lower left to upper right.  Subtle color variations are due to the differences of the infrared and ultraviolet wavelengths.  The crater wall reflect strongly in ultraviolet and thus appear bluish.
