[Moderator's note: This thread contains images from the Iapetus 2007-09-10 flyby and discussion of them. It was created by splitting this thread which contains pre-flyby discussion]
Another CL-UV3-GRN-IR1 set was posted today, though Iapetus seems to have been hiding from the green and IR filters...here's my best effort at making something from the CL and UV3 images. Lots of topography on the limb! --Emily -------------------- My website - My Patreon - @elakdawalla on Twitter - Please support unmannedspaceflight.com by donating here.

It would be interesting to try to resolve (if possible) how many craters on the equatorial ridge are stretched and how many are not.
Whatever the origin of the ridge is, it should have led to the stretching of pre-existing craters on top of it. After the ridge formed, all impacts on top of it should have formed ''normal'' craters. Therefore measuring a ratio of streched to normal craters could provide a hint to the formation time of this feature. If all craters are streched then the ridge should have formed after the bombardment period and the opposite... I am not sure, however, if stretched craters can be identified... |
