Uploader comment: This view from NASA's Cassini spacecraft shows terrain on Saturn's moon Dione that is entirely lit by reflected light from Saturn, called Saturnshine. Imaging scientists set a relatively short exposure time (10 milliseconds) for this and other views obtained during this fast flyby in order to avoid smearing the images.
