Aero-News Quote Of The Day (03.10.05)

"The only known planetary process that creates large-scale linear boundaries is tectonism, in which internal processes cause portions of the crust to fracture and sometimes move either up, down or sideways. Erosion by fluids may accentuate the tectonic fabric by depositing dark materials in low areas and enlarging fractures. This interplay between internal forces and fluid erosion is very Earth-like." Source: Dr. Alfred McEwen, Cassini imaging team member from the University of Arizona, Tucson, who theorizes Saturn's largest moon was shaped by many of the same forces that shaped our own Earth.
