A Theory about a Hidden Evander-Size Impact and the Renewal of the Intermediate Cratered Terrain on Dione
The study introduces a theory about an Evander-size impact on the surface of Dione. Our study suspects a relatively low-velocity (≤5 km/s) collision between a ca. 50–80 km diameter object and Dione, which might have resulted in the resurfacing of one of the satellite’s intermediate cratered terrains...
