Cracks on Dione

Tethys (above) and Dione, two satellites of Saturn, as observed by the Voyager 1 spacecraft. The shadow of Tethys is visible on the planet's “surface,” just below the rings (bottom right).

False-colour image of Saturn. Three of its satellites (Tethys, Dione, and Rhea) are visible as bright points on the left; a fourth moon, Mimas, can be seen in front of Saturn, below the ring system. This image is based on observations made by the Voyager spacecraft.

Hubble Space Telescope: Saturn and moons

False-colour images of the ring and satellites of Saturn, taken by the Hubble Space Telescope, Nov. 21, 1995. The satellite Dione appears just above the rings in the first two images; Mimas is visible at the outer edge of the rings; and other moons are visible near Saturn's disk on the right.
