Trailing Hemisphere of Dione Target Name:   Dione Spacecraft:   Voyager Produced by:   A. Tayfun Oner Copyright:  A. Tayfun Oner Date Released:  10 January 1998 Related Document Saturn's Moon Dione Download Options Name Type Width x Height Size dione5.gif GIF 1024 x 1024 538K dione5.jpg JPEG 1024 x 1024 127K One of the most striking features of Dione is the bright wispy terrain on the trailing hemisphere. Most of these wisps are radial to the large crater Amata but they are curvilinear and do not resemble crater rays. Some of them are associated with topographic features and this suggests that they are surface deposits of ice outgassed from a global tectonic system of fractures.
