Well here is a very interesting image from Casini of Saturns Moon, Iapetus. I have to admit it sure looks like the Death Star from Star Wars. Note the ridge that circumnavigates the equator of the Moon. It goes all the way around the planetoid. Check out the close up,
“There is no viable geological model to explain a sixty thousand-foot-high, sixty thousand-foot-wide, four million-foot-long “wall” … spanning an entire planetary hemisphere … let alone, located in the precise plane of its equator!”
Quite unusual, not to mention these are outstanding images. It boggles the mind.
