DIONE
At 1122 km in diameter, Dione is the 15th largest moon in the Solar System, and is more massive than all known moons smaller than itself combined. About two thirds of Dione's mass is water ice and the remaining is a dense core, probably silicate rock. Data gathered by Cassini indicates that Dione has an internal liquid salt water ocean. Downward bending of the surface associated with the 1.5 km high ridge Janiculum Dorsa can most easily be explained by the presence of such an ocean. Gravity and shape data points to a 99±23 km thick ice shell crust on top of a 65±30 km thick internal liquid water global ocean. Dione's leading hemisphere is heavily cratered and is uniformly bright. Its trailing hemisphere, however, contains an unusual and distinctive surface feature: a network of bright ice cliffs.

Dione was discovered by Italian astronomer Giovanni Domenico Cassini in 1684.


-=] Accuracy vs. Artistic Liberties [=-
I aim to make colors realistic as possible, but specular/normal maps may be incorrect/exaggerated because I don't have real topography data to work with, and because anything shorter than Olympus Mons would barely cast a shadow. I do prefer to err on the side of "subtle", though.
