Color image of Iapetus taken from Voyager 1 Target Name:   Iapetus Spacecraft:   Voyager 1 Produced by:   Calvin J. Hamilton Copyright:  © 2000 Calvin J. Hamilton Date Taken:   14 November 1980 Date Released:  7 January 2000 (Publisher Permission Request) Related Document Iapetus, A Moon of Saturn Download Options Name Type Width x Height Size iapetus4.jpg JPEG 312 x 322 16K iapetus4.tif TIFF 312 x 322 88K This image of Iapetus was acquired by the Voyager 1 spacecraft on 14 November 1980. The image was created by combining 3 images taken through the orange, green and blue filters of Voyager 1's camera. Voyager 1 did not approach Iapetus as closely as Voyager 2; consequently, the image is of much lower resolution. Despite the low resolution, the image still shows a bright, heavily cratered icy terrain. This image is © Copyright 2000 by Calvin J. Hamilton.
