Plate 34: Dione's narrow-band illuminated topography evidencing widespread emissive activity.<br />

potential. Nearby presence <strong>of</strong> an electromagnetic vehicle could supply<br />

the required energy. Evidence supporting this notion would be<br />

expected to embrace a large surface area. After all, vehicles have<br />

size superiority, and their ultra-high-energy projections span long<br />

distances.<br />

Scant perspective <strong>of</strong> Dione's illuminated topography is provided by<br />

the micro-photographs <strong>of</strong> Plates 32 through 34. This constraint<br />

compels scrutiny <strong>of</strong> the macro-photograph which yielded the three<br />

micro-photos. Plate 35 presents macro-views <strong>of</strong> Dione showing curvilinear<br />

surface markings and duality in hemispherical lighting. Part (a)<br />

provides photographic identifications and part (b), pictorial interpretation<br />

aids.<br />

Some <strong>of</strong> the craters on Dione have been assigned names. Those to<br />

which reference will be made are, in part (a): (1) Aeneas; (2) Dido; (3)<br />

Romulus; (4) Remus; (5) Magus; and (6) Latigus. In the upper<br />

quadrant at the periphery, numerous rays curve inland from the<br />

moon's edge. These rays, numbered (7) through (11), comparatively<br />

are lighter in color than the surface. Blue emissions, (12), are the same<br />

ones presented in Plate 33. More blue emissions, (13), serve to unite<br />

these rays conceptually as a family.<br />
