Some parts of Ariel really looks like active regions on Enceladus. Especially region named Leprechaun Vallis.
And of course, we don't know, how more than 50% of Ariel's surface looks even in moderate resolution (~1 km/pix). BTW, It's any possibility to derive "absolute" heights (measured from the center) for Miranda from available data? (This is in particular question for Paul, who is master in this field.) -------------------- |

(This is in particular question for Paul, who is master in this field.) here are JPGs of my elevation maps of Ariel and Miranda. getting absolute heights from center would require integrating with the limb profiles but the geometric distortions of the VGR cameras were only partially solved. a true solution wont come from VGR. best we can get is really good relative measures, and a close approx to absolute hts. -------------------- Dr. Paul Schenk, Lunar and Planetary Institute, Houston TX
