  Dione (moon)
Dione is composed primarily of water ice, but as the densest of Saturn's moons (aside from Titan, whose density is increased by gravitational compression) it must have a considerable fraction of denser material like silicate rock in its interior.
One theory was that shortly after its formation Dione was geologically active, and some process such as ice volcanism resurfaced much of its surface, with the streaks forming from eruptions along cracks in Dione's surface that fell back to the surface as snow or ash.
This suggests that during the period of heavy bombardment, Dione was tidally locked to Saturn in the opposite orientation.

TYC 1882-00135-1 by the 146-km asteroid (106) Dione [NOT the much larger satellite of Saturn].
The path location is uncertain by almost half a path-width, 1-sigma, so an occultation by Dione could occur as far north as Minneapolis, Milwaukee, Richmond (VA) and Cape Charles, or as far south as Ames (Iowa), Louisville (KY), Greensboro (NC), and Fayetteville (NC).

 Dione (moon) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Dione is composed primarily of water ice, but as the third densest of Saturn's moons (aside from Enceladus and Titan, whose density is increased by gravitational compression) it must have a considerable fraction of denser material like silicate rock in its interior.
One hypothesis was that shortly after its formation Dione was geologically active, and some process such as ice volcanism resurfaced much of its surface, with the streaks forming from eruptions along cracks in Dione's surface that fell back to the surface as snow or ash.
The Cassini orbiter performed a closer flyby of Dione (500 km) on October 11, 2005, and captured oblique images of the cliffs, showing that some of them are several hundred metres high.

From Cassini's perspective, Rhea's bulk (1,528 kilometers, 949 miles wide) completely covered her smaller celestial companion Dione (1,126 kilometers, 700 miles wide) for about three minutes before the smaller moon re-emerged.
Additional frames were inserted among the 38 original Cassini images in order to smooth the appearance of Dione's movement -- a scheme called interpolation.
Image scale is about 14 kilometers (9 miles) per pixel on Rhea and 16 kilometers (10 miles) per pixel on Dione.

Bands can be seen in the northern hemisphere and structure can be identified in the rings, including the Cassini Division, towards the outer edge of the rings.
The satellites which can be seen in this image are Enceladus, near the left edge of the rings, Dione, below Saturn, and Tethys, at the right edge of the frame.

The cell concentration was adjusted to 1 x 106 cells/mL.
The cells were resuspended in separate tubes, in which 6.5 mL of agar medium were mixed with 2.7 mL of cells.
Next, the cells were washed with pre-warmed RPMI media and re-suspended in RPMI media at 5 x 106 cells/mL, and 100 µL of the calcein-labeled cell suspension was added to the chambers.

 Cassini-Huygens: Multimedia-Images
Three sizeable impact craters, including one with a marked central peak, lie along the line that divides day and night on the Saturnian moon, Dione (dee-OH-nee), which is 1,118 kilometers, or 695 miles across.
The low angle of the Sun along the terminator, as this dividing line is called, brings details like these craters into sharp relief.
This image was taken in visible light with the Cassini spacecraft narrow angle camera on Nov. 1, 2004, at a distance of 2.4 million kilometers (1.5 million miles) from Dione and at a Sun-Dione-spacecraft, or phase, angle of 106 degrees.

 Names of Solar System objects and surface features
These stipulated that they should be no more than 16 characters long, should (preferably) be one word (prompting names like (11943) Davidhartley), and should not be too similar to the name of another asteroid or planetary moon.
The last constraint should eliminate duplications like (38) Leda, (52) Europa and (85) Io, which duplicate names of satellites of Jupiter, or (106) Dione, which duplicates the name of a satellite of Saturn.
Names of persons or events of primarily military or political significance cannot be used until 100 years after event or the person’s death.
