As Saturn approaches periapsis for Rev 04 this week, time to start talking observations. Obviously there is the Encelaudus close flyby on Wednesday. In addition, there is a 84,000 km encounter of Tethys which should provide a great view of Ithaca Chasma.
Also, I have a post up on my blog about the latest mutual event, this time between Mimas and Janus. -------------------- &@^^!% Jim! I'm a geologist, not a physicist!

QUOTE (Decepticon @ Mar 10 2005, 03:12 AM) I'm just floored! These images are nothing like I could ever imagine. This image here caught my attention. That crack looks very deep. http://saturn.jpl.nasa.gov/multimedia/imag...9/N00030070.jpg I can't tell if that's a crack or a cliff. You can almost believe that it's an upthrust fault that's formed a sheer wall several hundred kilometers long. And almost absolutely straight for a good length of it. Would such a feature likely have been a product of crust shrinkage? Or maybe gravitational crustal deformation? -the other Doug -------------------- “The trouble ain't that there is too many fools, but that the lightning ain't distributed right.” -Mark Twain
