...i DO find that the MOST useful sites ( content wise) look like this
Yeah - I usually get happy when I find something like this (SPICE kernels, IMG files or stuff like that). Following up on that image, is the relatively crater-free area above the crater in this crop part of a massive landslide? Have we observed something similar on other bodies? The crater floor also appears to be of a relatively young age. I'm not sure about landslides outside of craters (and this may or may not be a landslide, it will be very interesting to see higher res images of this terrain) but of course big landslides inside of craters are quite common, for example I remembered this one on Iapetus: http://photojournal.jpl.nasa.gov/catalog/PIA06171 |
