Fantastic flyby! Evidently NAC camera worked flawlessly.
Some smooth areas - possible landslides ? -------------------- |

Fantastic flyby! Evidently NAC camera worked flawlessly. Some smooth areas - possible landslides ? looks that way. my guess would be that it is material displaced laterally when the small crater on the rim just above it hit. a landslide true but one with a violent origin! -------------------- Dr. Paul Schenk, Lunar and Planetary Institute, Houston TX
