Iapetus ridge shots
As many of you know there was a recent flyby of Iapetus by NASA's
Cassini spacecraft (and that it went into safe mode but they recovered the data.) The Cassini website has great images from the flyby, however I didn't see any closeup images of the ridge in the PR images section or on Cassini's main page, so I went to the raw images section and saw the following. This first one I've rotated 180 degrees. http://setisociety.org/iapetus2.jpg This next one I've rotated and proportionally enlarged to 200% of original http://setisociety.org/Iapetus.jpg (for purists here is the crisper original un-rotated http://setisociety.org/N00091828.jpg ) Aside from some of the great shots in the raw images section (which will shortly cycle off of their raw images section of the website) on their PR page they have this nice shot http://photojournal.jpl.nasa.gov/jpeg/PIA08372.jpg and a couple of others that sort of explain the sharp contrasts on the surface.
