Check Out these awesome images of Saturn’s moon, Iapetus.
Ruffles have rridges too
Looks like something Klingon
That’s the parting line from where it was molded.
It is a very interesting mystery.
Almost looks like the moon was broken in half then smacked back together leaving a seam.
It'll be hatching soon.
So, Brokeback Mountain is actually science fiction, then?
It appears to have been hit millions of times by meteorites.

If that ridge runs in the direction of the moons spin, maybe it was soft/hot and malleable at one time and the spin force crated it?
Fascinating - thanks for the post.
...
They found that the majority of the peaks sat in what is known as their angle of repose, which is the maximum angle at which material can rest on a peak without falling down to its base. Normal geologic activity tends to create peaks that are shallower and have less uniformity. This suggests, the researchers claim, that the mountains did not form due to geologic activity but more likely are part of a ring of material that once circled the moon and was pulled down to the surface.
A ring around the moon would most likely have come about due to a collision, either between another body and the moon, or two other bodies nearby. The resulting material would have formed a ring around the equator which over time, would have been pulled to the surface by gravity. Such a theory, the team notes, would also explain Iapetus’s asymmetrical orbit and also why it orbits with the same face pointing at Saturn all of the time.
Verse 1:
O Lord my God! When I in awesome wonderConsider all the works Thy hand hath made.I see the stars, I hear the rolling thunder,Thy power throughout the universe displayed.Refrain: Then sings my soul, my Saviour God, to Thee;How great Thou art, how great Thou art!Then sings my soul, my Saviour God, to Thee:How great Thou art, how great Thou art!Verse 2:
When through the woods and forest glades I wanderAnd hear the birds sing sweetly in the trees;When I look down from lofty mountain grandeurAnd hear the brook and feel the gentle breeze:(Repeat Refrain.)Verse 3:
And when I think that God, His Son not sparing,Sent Him to die, I scarce can take it in;That on the cross, my burden gladly bearing,He bled and died to take away my sin:(Repeat Refrain.)Verse 4:
When Christ shall come with shout of acclamationAnd take me home, what joy shall fill my heart!Then I shall bow in humble adoration,And there proclaim, my God, how great Thou art!(Repeat Refrain.)
Something like a carpet in too small a room?
Beautiful pix. Thanks for posting.
Extremely large voles.
Looks like two moons did a High Five!
I’ve seen similar from spring plowing. Hint of a depression on each side, which is where the material forming the “ridge” came from. Implication would be that the moon was grazed by a fairly large, irregularly shaped asteroid.
I’ll be bak!
