Description
Phoebe. Saturn's largest outer moon Phoebe, imaged by NASA's Cassini spacecraft. Craters, which are caused by the impact of meteorites, can be seen on the surface. The bright white areas, top left, are thought to be ice uncovered by the impact of meteorites colliding with the moon. This is evidence for the theory that Phoebe is an ice- rich body, covered with a layer of dark material. The Cassini-Huygens spacecraft was launched in 1997 to investigate Saturn, its rings and its moons. This image was taken during Cassini's flyby on 11th June 2004 at a distance of 11,918kilometers.
