Pish...day after day sitting at work, pressing the refresh button while waiting for someone to answer the phone and yell at me, and finally the wait is over. With our mysterious Raw Image Page code monkeys back to work after what I'm sure we all hope was a fine holiday, at last we gaze once again upon the face of Tethys, a moon that's likely sick with envy for all the attention her diminutive plume-blastin' brother has enjoyed lately. Here's the 24 November encounter mosaics combined in a slightly fictionalized format, with all the usual positional errors and distortions. Don't come crying to me if the Ice Dingoes eat yer baby because you camped in a duplicate crater I made.

Assuming there IS a small, rocky core considering Tethys' low density.

QUOTE (volcanopele @ Dec 9 2008, 08:48 PM)  Assuming there IS a small, rocky core considering Tethys' low density. A 100km radius core of 3 g/cc density (i.e., a small rocky core) would only amount to 2% of Tethys' mass, and not much of a change to its overall density, but could influence the course of its dynamics. The presence of the two trojan companion moons Telesteo and Calypso are also a smoking gun for a severe disruption of Tethys in the past. |

A cool shot indeed, Ted. -------------------- 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.
