Global map of Saturns moon Dione
May 20, 2008 - This global map of Saturns moon Dione was created using images taken during Cassini spacecraft flybys, with Voyager images filling in the gaps in Cassinis coverage.
An extensive system of bright ice cliffs created by tectonic fractures adorns the moons 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)
