COSMIC MESSAGE

What do the craters of Saturn's small moon Pandora look like up close? The Cassini spacecraft captured this highest-resolution image of Pandora from 40,000 kilometers away. Structures as small as 300 meters are visible on the 80-kilometer-wide moon. Pandora's craters appear smooth, covered by some material.
