2023 March 12 - Saturn's Hyperion: A Moon with Odd Craters
Channel: APOD Podcast
Date: 2023-03-12

In today's image, we see the moon of Saturn known as Hyperion. It is interesting for the unusual craters on its surface which give it an almost sponge-like appearance. The image was taken by the Cassini spacecraft back in 2005 when it was exploring the ringed planet and its moons.
