A host of new feature names have been approved for use on Dione. For example, the large impact basin on Dione shall hence forth be known as Evander. Here is it mappified (map by Steve Albers). I think I got all the ones that got changed from the original proposal, but let me know if you see any mistakes. -------------------- &@^^!% Jim! I'm a geologist, not a physicist!

Have to admit I'm a real sucker for new maps like this. Something about a map with names on makes a place seem more, well, real to me, you know? It means "we've been here, we've studied this place, and gave names to what we found and saw because we're coming back one day...". Quite moving, in a starry-eyed, unashamed romantic, yer great soft nit kind of way...
