Rhea-N00055757.jpgMoments of Rhea (6)68 visiteCerchiature Bianche: due bizzarri crateri esagonali (quello di Sx sembra un esagono quasi regolare...).
Il Prof. Hoagland, parlando di Giapeto, per un rilievo simile si sbilanciò parlando di "...simmetrie evidenti... - ergo di - ...chiare origini artificiali...".
Tuttavia, sui pentagoni e gli esagoni di Rhea (addirittura - come questi - più regolari e definiti del rilievo Giapetiano) nonchè su alcune (curiose) linee che la attraversano per Km e Km (linee - apparentemente - lisce e dritte come autostrade), Hoagland non ha detto nulla.
Sarà perchè, forse, non se n'è accorto...

Rhea-N00063467.jpgVoyagers... (1)56 visiteDue frames che ritraggono Rhea e, molto probabilmente, Tethys (ma non ne siamo affatto certi), mentre si "rincorrono" attraverso lo Spazio di Saturno.
Frames bellissimi e suggestivi che ci aiutano, se non altro, ad immaginare che cosa vuol dire "vivere" in uno Spazio popolato non da una sola Luna, ma da decine di Corpi Celesti che si rincorrono e si incrociano in una sorta di Carosello senza fine.
Caption originale:"N00063467.jpg was taken on July 04, 2006 and received on Earth July 04, 2006. The camera was pointing toward Rhea that, at the time, was approximately 1.358.319 Km away. The image was taken using the CL1 and CL2 filters".
