This clean-filter narrow-field images ofDione was taken on Sep,16.

There is a strange feature on the left of the moon..
This meteor-like shape is not visible in other images of the same sequence, so it is almost surely a cosmic ray signature, but a very strange one (never seen something like this, before!). Any alternate explanation?
PS: It remind me an image from 2001: a Space Odissey (from the final, unforgottable Bowman's trip through the universe)... do someone else had the same flashback?

Sounds like something from The Onion to me.

Or from Gregory Benford's SF novel Eater (which I recommend):

--------------------
"After having some business dealings with men, I am occasionally chagrined,
and feel as if I had done some wrong, and it is hard to forget the ugly circumstance.
I see that such intercourse long continued would make one thoroughly prosaic, hard,
and coarse. But the longest intercourse with Nature, though in her rudest moods, does
not thus harden and make coarse. A hard, sensible man whom we liken to a rock is
indeed much harder than a rock. From hard, coarse, insensible men with whom I have
no sympathy, I go to commune with the rocks, whose hearts are comparatively soft."

- Henry David Thoreau, November 15, 1853
