Hyperion is one of the largest highly irregular (non-spherical) bodies in the solar system (second to Proteus). The largest crater on Hyperion is approximately 120 km in diameter and 10 km deep. A possible explanation for the irregular morphology is that Hyperion is a fragment of a larger body that was broken by a large impact in the distant past, an event which has been linked to the enigmatic darkening of
Iapetus.
Reason
High resolution, stunning details, very encyclopedic.

Support - nice image, and is - strangely - quite eerie... (don't ask why)

Support - great detail, and fascinating - I had no idea that there were moons in our solar system shaped like this.

Support, despite the image description page giving no source information (beyond claiming it's {{PD-NASA}}). I'd prefer the less tightly cropped version
here, except that has a much lower resolution. --

Strong Support Only a spacecraft like Cassini could capture in such detail the intriguing features of the moon Hyperion. It would make excellent featured picture. ▪◦▪
