Hyperion is a moon of Saturn discovered by Bond and Lassell in 1848 . It is the largest highly irregular (non-spherical) body in the solar system ( Proteus is quite a bit larger but is almost spherical). It seems likely that Hyperion is a fragment of a larger body that was broken by a large impact in the distant past. The largest crater on its surface is approximately 120 kilometers in diameter and 10 kilometers deep.
