You're looking at the big facet frequently seen before including in the highest resolution mosaic from the really close encounter. It's just that we have not seen such perfect low angle lighting before.
 Incidentally, I don't think I ever posted this before:
It's a cylindrical mosaic of Voyager images. This new pic is of the roughly circular patch on the left side. It was made by me with the assistance of my friend Alyson Ford. Phil -------------------- ... because the Solar System ain't gonna map itself.

QUOTE (Phil Stooke @ Jul 24 2007, 11:02 AM)  You're looking at the big facet frequently seen before including in the highest resolution mosaic from the really close encounter. It's just that we have not seen such perfect low angle lighting before. I might be totally off my meds here, but I disagree. This feature looks like the prominent crater to the "southeast" (!?!) of the big facet seen during the targeted encounter (bottom center in your map). To illustrate:
I think this is the bite out of the cookie (forgive me, my 4-year-old was doing impressions of you-know-who this morning). If I'm wrong Phil, you can pummel me with rocks, preferrably irregular and faceted.  EDIT: D'oh! VP got it before I did. Unrelated bonus points in Io vs Europa deathmatch. I'll get you my pretty, if it's the last thing I do! (There's no defense against buckets of superheated sulphur. Appealing to UMSF High Council). -------------------- ...if you don't like my melody, i'll sing it in a major key, i'll sing it very happily. heavens! everybody's all aboard? let's take it back to that minor chord...
