Hyperion is the largest of Saturn's irregular, nonspherical moons. Hyperion's mean radius is 135 km, but as it's potato-shaped, its shape can be described in terms of its diameter along its three axes: 410 x 260 x 220 km. Credit: NASA/JPL/Caltech/SSIKermitPhor t1_j6dw11l wrote
Just to behold, some are 6 miles deep and eons old, only one of the stories Cassini told!
Alright had to double check, it is one of the images from Cassini’s targetted flyby in 2005. Absolutely wild how the craters of water ice and mineral appear and the raw curiosity this draws up.
