DEUTSCH: Phoebe aus nur noch 2370 km Entfernung, die Bildauflösung beträgt 14 m/pxl, der Phasenwinkel ist auf 31 Grad gesunken. Zu sehen sind unter anderem kleine Strahlenkrater und Krater mit relativ scharfen Rändern, die vermutlich später entstanden sind als Krater mit schon abgerundeten Rändern.
ENGLISH: On June 11, 2004, at its closest approach to Phoebe, Cassini obtained this extremely high resolution view of a dark, desolate landscape. Regions of different reflectivity are clearly visible on what appears to be a gently rolling surface. Notable are several bright-rayed impact craters, lots of small craters with bright-colored floors and light-colored streaks across the landscape. Note also the several sharply defined craters – probably fairly young features – near the upper left corner.
This high-resolution image was obtained at a phase, or Sun-Phoebe-spacecraft, angle of 30.7 degrees, and from a distance of approximately 2,365 kilometers (1,470 miles). The image scale is approximately 14 meters (46 feet) per pixel. The image was high-pass filtered to bring out small scale features and then enhanced in contrast. |
