Dione en 3D: posición y órbita en directo

Una luna helada y densa, surcada por fracturas brillantes que atraviesan su hemisferio posterior, más oscuro y craterizado.Dione se muestra en su posición real, calculada a partir de las efemérides NASA/JPL. La vista se abre sobre Dione; puede viajar en el tiempo, alternar entre la vista general educativa y el viaje a escala real, y compararlo con todos los demás cuerpos del sistema solar.
