Saturn's Hyperion: A Moon with Odd Craters
Saturn's moon Hyperion has a strange, sponge-like texture, full of odd craters. The Cassini spacecraft, orbiting Saturn, took these detailed, false-color images in 2005 and 2010. The slight color differences likely indicate variations in the surface's composition.
