DescriptionHyperion false color.jpg
العربية: هايپريون، هو أحد أقمار زُحل، وثاني أكبر الأجسام غير المنتظمة (غير الكروية) في المجموعة الشمسية. استُخدمت تقنيات معالجة الصُور المُحسِّنة لإظهار التفاصيل والاختلافات اللونيَّة في هذه الصورة المُلتقطة بِواسطة المسبار الفضائي كاسيني-هويجنز. تَشبَّع هايپريون بالكامل بِفُوَّهاتٍ صدميَّةٍ أعطتهُ مظهرًا إسفنجيًّا ضخمًا. تمتلئُ كُلَّ فُوَّهةٍ بِموادٍ مُظلمة.
English: Hyperion, a moon of Saturn, is one of the largest highly irregular (non-spherical) bodies in the solar system. Enhanced image processing was used to bring out details and color differences in this photo taken by the Cassini spacecraft. Hyperion is entirely saturated with deep, sharp-edged craters that give it the appearance of a giant sponge. Dark material fills the bottom of each crater.
