I was busy with other projects today, so today's post just asks you to look at this gorgeous three-image mosaic of a crescent Dione, taken during Cassini's most recent flyby a week ago. There are many more fine views from this flyby; go visit the Cassini raw images page to check them all out.

Crescent & Saturnlit Dione

Cassini snapped a 3-image mosaic of Dione during a flyby on September 3, 2010. Its nightside is faintly illuminated by light reflected off of Saturn.
