Hi...just wondering if anyone has a reliable source for the height of Miranda's spectacular Verona Rupes fault scarp? Estimates for the height range from 5 km to 20 km.
Thanks, --Phil -------------------- Twitter: @philna | seattle.wa.usa

Here is my 1991 LPSC abstract about Miranda.
http://www.lpi.usra.edu/meetings/lpsc1991/pdf/1667.pdf I can't believe I've been doing this for over 20 years... 26 actually as my first LPSC was in 1986. Phil -------------------- ... because the Solar System ain't gonna map itself.

Thanks, Phil! ...I just returned fom vacation and found your abstract post. So the cliffs are likely more like 5 - 15 km. Would the base of the cliffs be filled a sloping mass of ice/rocky talus? I wonder how far this would spread out in low-g.
BTW, the abstract is now 404. Thanks, --Phil -------------------- Twitter: @philna | seattle.wa.usa
