Phoebe

Phoebe
Phoebe Cassini captured this view of Phoebe, which is made of two separate images, on June 11, 2004. The surface is covered with craters, and it appears that the moon was once nearly broken to bits by impacts that left huge gouges (at top and bottom). North is to the top. The center to lower right area looks brighter because the Sun is striking that part of the moon most directly. NASA / JPL-Caltech / SSI
