Wing Ip just had an interesting Iapetus-related paper published in GRL.

OK let's see if this works..
http://www.aaw-darmstadt.de/bilder/japetus...%20cr%20enh.jpg Yes! - though I prefer it rotated 90 degrees clockwise. It clearly shows three almost parallel ridges over part of the length, possibly due to a combination of constructive and destructive processes plus small adjustments to the rotation axis during ring-fall. I wish I'd been there to see it (but not too close). |
