<p>Originally published here: <a href="https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:3394531">Dione scaled one in ten million by tato_713 - Thingiverse</a></p><p>This model was rendered using MATLAB R2016a on the ICQ model of the PSI made by Robert Gaskell from the data of the Cassini mission. It's scaled to 1 in 107 or one in ten million. This model is about 11cm in diameter. On this scale the Moon is a basketball and Mars' moons Phobos and Deimos are 2 and 1 mm respectively.</p><p>The file's names explained: <i>name_1_x_10_y.stl</i> is 1 : x* 10^y. So _1_6_10_7 is 1:600000000 or one in 60 million.&nbsp;</p><h4>S4 Dione</h4><p>Dione is similar in size with other Saturn's moon <a href="https://www.prusaprinters.org/prints/57257-tethys-scaled-one-in-ten-million">Tethys</a>. Like Tethys with <a href="https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:3368027">Mimas</a>, Dione is in orbital resonance with <a href="https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:3367575">Enceladus</a>, which share the characteristic of a subsurface ocean, probably sustained by the heat produced from that resonance. Dione has two co-orbital moons like Tethys: <a href="https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:3907501">Helene</a> and Polydeuces.</p><ul><li><strong>Type:</strong> Satellite&nbsp;</li><li><strong>Orbit:</strong> Saturn.
