Hyperion (Saturn VII) is the eighth largest moon of Saturn and was the first moon discovered that is not round. It was discovered by William Cranch Bond et.al. in September 1848, and was named after a Titan in Greek mythology.
Hyperion is the second largest moon that is non-round after Proteus and is characterized by its 'spongy' appearance. Its rotation is very chaotic and quite unpredicatble. Hyperion is in a 3:4 orbital resonance with Titan.
Hyperion in Orbiter
Hyperion was introduced to Orbiter with the release of outerplanets-050125.zip in January 2005.
