I heard about a peak on Iapetus that may be taller than Olympus Mons on Mars. I was wondering if the RADAR instrument will be used in the January encounter to verify this. What is the maximum distance the RADAR can be used?

QUOTE I've been seeing a faint linear feature along the equator on the raw images of Iapetus. I thought my imaginations was lining up random noise at first but this is the third day I've seen it. I wonder what it is. The large impact basin near the terminator looks like a multi-ring structure, it reminds me of Mare Orientale. Why, they must be the Death Star trench and superlaser dish! |
