Cassini to Tour Moon with Streaks
The Cassini spacecraft will come face-to-face with the great,
white streaks of Saturn's moon Dione on Oct. 11, 2005, when
it flies to within 500 kilometers (310 miles) of the surface.
During the close flyby Cassini will image the scarred terrain,
which is a landscape of bright ice cliffs created by tectonic
fractures.
