40 days and counting. The long wait is almost over!
I wonder whether we will get enough data to test new simulation theories like this one. http://space.newscientist.com/article/mg19...solar-wind.html What do you expect from this first flyby? |

I don't know if anyone else has mentioned it, but the spidery thing looks similar to features on Enceladus, where impact craters appear to have modified the stress field in the crust so as to 'focus' fracture sets.
Anyway, that's my tuppence-worth. |
