The best set of grooves on any object since Phobos. This has to put an end to the 'grooves caused by Mars ejecta' argument. fantastic object and a wonderful data set. And this is just the highest priority data, all the rest still to come.

The best set of grooves on any object since Phobos. This has to put an end to the 'grooves caused by Mars ejecta' argument. Very first thing I thought when seeing these as well, Phil. The image with Saturn in the distance... (I think ESA's figuring out this outreach business...) -------------------- A few will take this knowledge and use this power of a dream realized as a force for change, an impetus for further discovery to make less ancient dreams real.
