An fighter airplane with pincers, and a chanting guy with arms outstretched and a doubled-ended Egyptian crownish thingy on the guy’s head. Fat, fire-breathing babies in the upper corners? Young children with downward arm on either side in the middle. Upside down chimera with a smoker’s head and some paddle-tailed animal’s body (such as a platypus).

A fighter airplane (or an airplane fighter).

And the guy's in a sort of lotus position or 'Indian style.'

Hyperion is an irregularly shaped moon and like most of these was thought to be a “captured” moon of Saturn, which is an object that strays too close to a larger body and is pulled into its orbit. Soon other theories suggested that perhaps it was a single fragment of some larger body which was largely destroyed and perhaps is what littered Iapetus with its darker material. Now, closer observations show us that much of Hyperion’s interior is hollow space... or nothing... which could mean that Hyperion is actually a collection of smaller fragments of ice and some rock which over time pulled itself together to form Hyperion. In other words an orbiting pile of rubble.

The ridge at Iapetus’s equator from only 3,148 km. The black and white nature of Iapetus is only one of its [bizarre] traits, the other is the huge mountain range that runs almost completely around its equator. This the feature that often causes the mainstream media to compare the moon to a walnut.

The images show a giant landslide from a 15km-high scarp

I think it's cracked!

A big crater on the rim of an older, much bigger crater. :’)

Arthur C. Clarke Stands By His Belief in Life on Mars
by Leonard David
Clarke spoke last night, June 6, via phone from his home in Sri Lanka as key speaker in the Wernher von Braun Memorial Lecture series held here at the Smithsonian's National Air and Space Museum. Pouring over images on his home computer taken by the now-orbiting Mars Global Surveyor (MGS), Clarke said that there are signs of vegetation evident in the photos. Clarke repeated several times that he was serious about his observations, pointing out that he sees something akin to Banyan trees in some MGS photos.
