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 (volcanopele @ Dec 28 2004, 11:31 PM) 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.. Thanks! QUOTE This looks similar to the crater at the top center of the dark region http://photojournal.jpl.nasa.gov/catalog/PIA01054 Interesting. They do look alike. |
