Not that I mean to compare Itokawa to a sausage, just to show you behind the scenes of making the map, along with the map itself, here, rather than continue to clog up the Hayabusa Return to Earth thread.
Here is the map itself, so far along as the pasting in of the mosaic has gone. And here is are two shots of the folded up map, compared with the computer-made model. Note the arrow to one of the "ears." The first try of the map failed to capture the ear, so I replotted the boundary, as seen in the Tracing image. All photos credit: Sara Adkins Studio |

Here's the ridge-bound constant-scale natural boundary map of Itokawa marked with tabs and seam slices. The areas where the slices are very close together are the two "ears" on the otter's right-hand side.
If you are daring enough to try cutting and folding this map, don't use this a print of this image itself -- it is only a snapshot of a print of the map; it is not flat on a table. (Dumb of me not to produce this the accurate way, in the Photoshop file itself.) Scroll up and download the map; use this image as a guide for where to put tabs and seam slices. Here also is the less-compact version of the valley-bound map pictured above in outline. Oh, as far as Enceladus geology goes, I spent some time at the conference transferring the latest geology info onto a grapefruit, and onto a minneola, which I cut and peeled into a map. That old saw about how making a map is like unpeeling an orange is not so good -- oranges don't peel very easily; neither do grapefruits. It's more like unpeeling a minneola: http://rightbasicbuilding.com/enceladus-first-globe-ever/ |
