Call it exhuberance. Mirandian was perhaps more prominant in the lower resolution view from July 9th. Go to NASA photojournal and explore Miranda. Miranda has what I would call sectional terrain (not a geologist either nor do I pretend to be). Odd blocks of internal resurfacing surrounded by cratered terrain. As we get closer the comparisons do seem to break down a bit. Is this a demonstration of how small bodies go through an early stage of internal processing? But is it not wild that we can even make subjective comparisons of bodies so far apart in space and time! That is what some 50 years of solar system exploration has given us. Glad I was born to see it from the start. Craig |
