Cassini's second hyperclose pass of Dione is just days away. Ive posted some new views and thoughts about Dione
on FB and YT (links below) of some of the features that might be visible in the images, which will show mostly the leading
hemisphere. Jeff Moore and I have been working on a volcanic hypothesis for the smooth plains and the odd features found within
it, which we hope to submit for publication very soon.

The oblique view of the tectonic cliffs has to be one of the classic images from this mission. Absolutely jaw-dropping, and a human-scale landscape to boot. I expect to see this one widely published for years to come. -------------------- ...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...
