Highest res images of Iapetus yet!

and Emily’s got ‘em.

Very cool stuff, and her comment about crater chains is interesting; I see them too and like her I question their reality. But the more we learn about this weird little moon the better; the walnut crest around the equator is totally excellent and I’d like to see more data come in so a better explanation (or a more refined one) can come along.
