Japetus-PIA08374.jpgThe "Transition Region" of Japetus57 visiteCaption NASA:"Dark material splatters the walls and floors of craters in the surreal, frozen wastelands of Japetus. This image shows terrain in the Transition Region between the moon's dark Leading Hemisphere and its bright Trailing Hemisphere.
The view was acquired during Cassini's only close flyby of the two-toned Saturn moon.
The image was taken on Sept. 10, 2007, with the Cassini spacecraft narrow-angle camera at a distance of approximately 6.030 Km (3.750 miles) from Japetus. Image scale is 36 meters (118 feet) per pixel".MareKromiumSet 15, 2007

Japetus-3D.jpgJapetus in 3D57 visiteCaption NASA:"This bizarre, equatorial ridge extending across and beyond the dark, Leading Hemisphere of Japetus gives the two-toned Saturnian moon a distinct walnut shape. With red/blue glasses you can check out a remarkable stereo composition of this extraordinary feature -- based on close-up images from this week's Cassini Spacecraft flyby.
In fact, the ridge's combination of equatorial symmetry and scale, about 20 Km wide and reaching up to 20 Km above the surface, is not known to be duplicated anywhere else in our Solar System. The unique feature was discovered in Cassini images from 2004. It appears to be heavily cratered and therefore ancient, but the origin of the equatorial ridge on Iapetus remains a mystery".MareKromiumSet 15, 2007
