Beautiful new images of Dione... I like the small patch of (fairly) smooth plains near the terminator, and the long ridge.

Only a tiny sliver will be new territory for Steve's map. The rough terrain at right, clearly different from the smoother area at the terminator, is the ejecta blanket of the big southern hemisphere basin.

I'm surprised noone's commented on this picture of Dione taken on the 15th. Very provocative.
Maybe something, maybe not.  http://saturn.jpl.nasa.gov/multimedia/imag...6/N00073136.jpg |
