Only 78 days to Stein encounter ! I can't believe I forgot about this event.

"Can anyone point me to a "chance alignment" of 7 or so craters out of the largest 20 or 30 on any other asteroid or moon? "
Famous example: the apparent chain of six large craters extending south from Ptolemaus on the central meridian of our moon, long touted as proof of their internal origin. Look at the 'rivers' I mentioned above. Purely random chains you can see every day. Look at stucco. Randomness includes lots of apparent patterns.
