Hyperion

Now for something really different.....



Wow... This is an image of Hyperion, one of Saturn's moons. This sponge-looking moon has some amazing characteristics that are totally different from any other moon in our solar system. This view of Hyperion revealing details across its surface, was obtained during Cassini's flyby in September of 2005. It is made up of a combination of images taken using infrared, green and ultraviolet spectral filters.
