Well well! A ring is back in the reckoning, and this time originating from the breakup of a former sub-satellite. (I'm sure I've seen that somewhere before

(I'm sure I've seen that somewhere before )http://www.spacedaily.com/reports/How_Iape..._Ridge_999.html yes it does. Folks are starting to do some serious simulations and finding it's rather easy. It also relates to our Rhea ring deposit story. Stereomoons.blogspot.com. We see series of blue spots on the equator just like Iapetus except no high ridge. In our Icarus paper we argued that Rhea and Iapetus both had rings but Rhea ring had much less mass Paul -------------------- Dr. Paul Schenk, Lunar and Planetary Institute, Houston TX
