Cassini meets Phoebe
Battered by impacts large and small, Saturn's distant moon Phoebe is some 230 kilometers (145 miles) wide, about the length of the state of New Jersey. The small bright patches may be fresh ice exposed by relatively recent impacts. NASA's Cassini craft caught this image (acually a composite of two) on June 11th. Full-resolution images and more information. Courtesy NASA / JPL.
Planetary scientists, ecstatic over their first closeup views of
Saturn's moon Phoebe, suspect that it is mostly ice overlain with a
thin layer of darker material. The large, sharply-defined crater
(relatively young) shows two or more layers of alternating light and
dark matter just below its rim. Full-resolution images and more
information. Courtesy NASA / JPL.
