High-resolution view of Dione
High-resolution view of Dione Nine separate raw Cassini images of Dione make up this mosaic, captured during the 1 May 2012 encounter from about 9,000 kilometers away. NASA / JPL-Caltech / SSI / mosaic by Emily Lakdawalla

To produce this mosaic, the center frame was used as a reference, and the others resized, rotated, and occasionally skewed to make features match up, because of Cassini's shifting point of view.
