Well, you got "icosahedron" right, so I'd say you're still on the plus side, Ralph... tongue.gif

A few will take this knowledge and use this power of a dream realized as a force for change, an impetus for further discovery to make less ancient dreams real.

That's OK. You got "bi-lobed prolate spheroid" so we can let it pass.

I'd be interested if anyone can tell if it is prolate or oblate.


Me too!

"I'd be interested if anyone can tell if it is prolate or oblate."

I'm fairly sure it is prolate, elongated on one of its equatorial axes. But we will need more views to get a good shape model.

Is that Mimas?
Taken on 23rd May from around a million km from Saturn.
If my surname began with Hoag- and ended with -land I would be beside myself. wink.gif

Edit: it is Mimas - that's Herschel to the left.

A little play-around with the best Methone image - processed to within an inch of its life. Is that a tantalising hint of detail in the darker area, or am I enhancing artifacts?

There is real detail in the darker area, in the form of slightly darker smudges. Real because it shows up in all the images, not just one. I don't see any obvious topographic expression of it, but the sun is nearly overhead at that location.
