I try to avoid linking to my own blog (figuring that if you guys think something's worthwhile you'll post a link, else not!), but in doing so today it's only to point you all to some amazing detective work done by another UMSFer, Ted Stryk:

I think the Mars 3 crescent Mars image is very nearly as obscure as Despina. And while the Despina discovery is cool, I don't think it's quite as cool as the discovery of "Uranus-shine" details on Ariel -- I'd advocate for that as your avatar before Despina! Face it, no one matches Ted for finding cool stuff in cast-off data.
