Taken just two days ago: Cracked and scarred Dione (top), w/ the rings and our favorite geysering moon, Enceladus, in the distance. And in a closeup from only 321 miles above the surface (bottom), a longing look at Dione’s wispy terrain, which we thought in Voyager days would be extruded ice but is not.
Cassini’s final Dione flyby will be in 2 months’ time on August 17. We are now in the end game. Prepare yourselves for the final goodbye …
