Dione's Evander basin caught against Saturn and rings
Dione's Evander basin caught against Saturn and rings On 2 May 2012, Cassini captured a high-resolution mosaic of Dione poised against the yellow globe of Saturn. The black stripe is Saturn's rings, seen nearly edge-on. The large impact basin at the bottom edge of Dione is named Evander. NASA / JPL-Caltech / SSI / color composite by Emily Lakdawalla
