Cassini completed its recent double-header of flybys on September
26, with a spectacular 500 kilometer (310 mile) pass above the
oddly modified surface of Hyperion.

strange, tumbling moon's surface that could represent differences
in the composition of surface materials.

different from any other in the Saturn system.
