Listening to the audio of the featurette here (select the "closed-caption" quicktime video) the commentator pronounces the name of the moon Dione as "DEE-oh-nay". I've always thought of it as "DI-own", but I suppose I haven't heard anyone knowledgeable pronounce it. Does anyone have a sense as to what pronunciation is in common usage?
