I'm guessing low albedo variations show up so clearly because of the low phase angle here. -------------------- www.flickr.com/photos/ugordan

Damn, the best picture is a bit overexposed.

Modifying levels and curves on this image in Pshop, I get this:

There seems to be ridges (outcrops?) on the central peak of Herschel.

Gordon's interpretation is enticing; I look forward to hearing other possibilities. Kudos once again to the Cassini team for the spectacular views of another world. What amazing times we live in.

Yeah, Stu, the fact we get access to these images so quickly still boggles this old space hound. What is really amazing to me is that we have this old, battered moon (on the surface) riding right next to the most active mid-sized moon Enceladus. Location in a system does not necessarily tell the whole story?! Craig
