This extraordinary photograph marks the Cassini orbiter's final view of one of Saturn's many moons, Dione. Taken from a distance of 474 kilometers (295 miles) away, its pockmarked surface is shown in glorious detail. This is the fifth time that the orbiter has zipped past this moon, but this time it is also the probe's last.
