Dione is the fourth-largest moon of Saturn. It trailing hemisphere features the most craters, leading astronomers to think that a collision may have spun the moon around 180 degrees.
Two other moons of Saturn, Titan and Enceladus, are already known to hide global oceans beneath their icy crusts, but a new study suggests an ocean exists on Dione as well. In this study, researchers ...

NASA's Cassini space probe swooped in for its final close encounter with Dione -- one of Saturn's 62 known moons -- and took a stunning final image of the icy world.
If the researchers are correct, 700-mile-wide (1,120 kilometers) Dione would be the third Saturn moon known to harbor a subsurface ocean, after giant Titan and geyser-spouting Enceladus.
