Description
العربية: هايپريون ، هو أحد أقمار زُحل ، وثاني أكبر الأجسام غير المنتظمة (غير الكروية) في المجموعة الشمسية . استُخدمت تقنيات معالجة الصُور المُحسِّنة لإظهار التفاصيل والاختلافات اللونيَّة في هذه الصورة المُلتقطة بِواسطة المسبار الفضائي كاسيني-هويجنز . تَشبَّع هايپريون بالكامل بِفُوَّهاتٍ صدميَّةٍ أعطتهُ مظهرًا إسفنجيًّا ضخمًا. تمتلئُ كُلَّ فُوَّهةٍ بِموادٍ مُظلمة.
English: Hyperion , a moon of Saturn , is one of the largest highly irregular (non-spherical) bodies in the solar system . Enhanced image processing was used to bring out details and color differences in this photo taken by the Cassini spacecraft . Hyperion is entirely saturated with deep, sharp-edged craters that give it the appearance of a giant sponge. Dark material fills the bottom of each crater.
