Hyperion (moon): Characters, Physical characteristics & Orbit and rotation

Hyperion /haɪˈpɪəriən/ is the eighth-largest moon of Saturn. It is distinguished by its highly irregular shape, chaotic rotation, low density, and unusual sponge-like appearance. It was the first non-rounded moon to be discovered.
