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 (Decepticon @ Dec 28 2004, 08:11 PM) Where is Iapetus equator in that image volcanopele? I'm trying to get a bearing as where this is on the Voyager Global Maps. Here is my best shot at placing a grid on these images. Not very good, I know... But I think that bulge is real.. -------------------- &@^^!% Jim! I'm a geologist, not a physicist!
