Newly released pics of Hyperion show a crater impact which looks as if
it runs 2/3 the face of the moon, with very high crater walls. Equally
eyecatching is the texture of the surface within the crater, to this
untrained eye it looks all the world like a huge piece of pumice. It
certianly does not look very dense. Rich

I, for one, would be willing to wager that Hyperion is a captured
cometary body, long since without its original tail.

Certianly does, kind of displays the dirty snowball concept, but it
clearly looks like a low density "object"
