Definición

  • Hyperion is a moon of Saturn that rotates chaotically and has a bizarre sponge-like appearance. Hyperion is the largest irregular satellite in the Solar System (Neptune's Proteus is larger but almost spherical), measuring 360 × 280 × 225 km. It was discovered by William and George Bond and, independently, by William Lassell, in 1848, and is also known as Saturn VII.
