Cassini Images Saturn's Hyperion

The NASA probe Cassini has recently imaged Hyperion, a small, pockmarked moon of Saturn. Hyperion's strange appearance suggests that its surface may have been repeatedly bombarded, and its low density indicates that much of its interior may be empty.

The fact that we can reach out with our probes and image something hitherto almost completely unknown speaks to the majesty of scientific endeavor. When mankind achieves interplanetary flight, the numerous moons of Jupiter and Saturn will offer almost endless opportunities for discovery and adventure.
