Saturn moon looks like a giant floating sponge!!!

One of the moons of Saturn called Hyperion resembles a goliath drifting wipe. Here is a fantastic photograph of the moon taken amid a flyby a huge number of kilometers away.

Named Hyperion, the moon measures 410 by 260km, and its permeable surface can be seen in mind blowing detail in a picture taken by a satellite.

Cassini was around 62,000 km from Hyperion when the picture was taken very nearly 10 years back, the Mail Online reported.

The report further said that Hyperion unleashed a blast of charged particles towards the rocket, adequately conveying a monster 200-volt electric stun.

"This is practically identical to what happens when you rub your hair against an inflatable, or when a shirt or pullover rubs against a sweater," the report cited teacher Tom Nordheim of University College London as saying.

Hyperion resembles a potato and researchers accept that the moon is generally comprised of water ice, with little measures of rock.

What's more, as a result of these properties the whole moon is permeable, similar to a wipe.
