Maybe I have both an unfashionable interest in extra-terrestrial geography and a peculiarly low level of fastidiousness about knitting things together with GIMP, but I'm slightly surprised I've produced this Cassini mosaic of cliffs on Dione before it appears on the front page of nasa.gov
If anyone has an explanation not involving aliens for the perfectly straight, narrow valley just above and to the left of the middle of this image, inquiring minds want to know. I also like the way, just near the seam, that the rock-hard ice appears to have flowed like treacle (better seen on the original)

indicates that the rest of the encounter was spent using the IR imaging spectrometer and the radar instrument.
If only the raw-images site gave an acquisition time for the photos, it would be significantly easier to assemble the images into maps.
