Remarkably similar to the face Voyager 2 saw. Hyperion has just rotated around a little more to show us that the bite out of the hamburger is actually another large crater (top of this image, partially in shadow). Amazing that there's anything left of this little brittle moon after so many large impacts. jsc248 (Aug 26, 2011 at 11:07 AM):
Possibly my most favourite object in the Solar System!
Hyperion always reminds me of a Celestial Sponge in appearance. These images of an amazingly cratered surface shows you why. Great Stuff!! John. |
