Can I please caution peeps about the 'comet' comment

Which comet? Compositionally, comets appear to be extremely heterogeneous.

Secondly, observational planetary science should always avoid any labels that carry some kind of genetic connotation (since they're invariably wrong). So, if it barks like a comet, it's a comet?
Oh, metaphor god, strike me down.
For example, you can call a bunch of squiggles a dendritic pattern, but not a channel network (since it implies formation by fluid flow, whereas dendritic is purely descriptive) - unless you're pretty sure it's a channel network.

There are other ways to make heavier organics.

I'm loving these new data - the CIRS stuff is beautiful. I'd like to know how the shear heating bods feel about these results....
