Dione, seen here against the disk of Saturn, is a bright, white, icy object like the other inner satellites. There is a difference in character between its leading and trailing hemispheres; the trailing side, seen on the left in this image, shows a pattern of bright wispy streaks against a darker background.
The Voyager Project is managed for NASA by the Jet Propulsion Laboratory, Pasadena, Calif.
