Stereo Helene

Decide up out your crimson/blue glasses and lumber subsequent to Helene, puny, frigid moon of Saturn. Accurately named, Helene is one of four identified Trojan moons, so referred to as on tale of it orbits at a Lagrange point. A Lagrange point is a gravitationally proper space shut to two huge our bodies, in this case Saturn and better moon Dione. Truly, irregularly fashioned ( about 36 by 32 by 30 kilometers) Helene orbits at Dione’s leading Lagrange point whereas brotherly ice moon Polydeuces follows at Dione’s trailing Lagrange point. The engaging stereo anaglyph was constituted of two Cassini photography captured within the course of a shut flyby in 2011. It reveals half of the Saturn-dealing with hemisphere of Helene mottled with craters and gully-treasure gains.
