That November 2005 image is interesting for another reason. Look at the 8 o'clock position on Iapetus' limb. You can see one of the large basins in profile. This one isn't normally as easy to pick out as some of the others.
It looks to me like the upcoming April 15th shots of Iapetus might have a chance of catching the big Roncevaux Terra basin in a similar profile. |
