Clearest images ever taken of Equatorial Ridge on Saturn's moon Iapetus.
—
The equatorial ridge is the tallest mountain feature on Saturn's moon Iapetus.
It is 20 km (12 mi) high and is the third tallest mountain structure in the Solar System.
It runs along most of Iapetus' equator. It was discovered by the Cassini probe on 31 December 2004.
Cassini–Huygens, commonly called Cassini, was a space-research mission by NASA, the European Space Agency (ESA), and the Italian Space Agency (ASI) to send a space probe to study the planet Saturn and its system, including its rings and natural satellites.

“YOU WERE BEAUTIFUL.”
A necessary and long over-due update to this old piece of art
In the time since that post VD57 was officially named Dinkinesh, and Lucy’s close up revealed it to be far more spectacular than my artist rendition could’ve ever foreseen—because Dinkinesh turned out to be a binary.
Thank you so much to Dinkinesh and its moon Selam for providing possibly the most surprising event in solar system science last year!
Next stop — Earth flyby in December on the way to asteroid Donaldjohanson!

To while away time on its journey to the Moon the space probe blew bubbles to while away the time.

We're going to get a physical sample of an asteroid returned to the Earth this Sunday, September 24, 2023.

Here’s a silly idea.
A space probe decides not to go into space.
“I don’t want to”
And it just stays in orbit around earth instead.
Idk
I just thought it was funny.

Pluto is the largest known dwarf planet in the solar system and used to be considered the ninth and most distant planet from the sun.
The strange world is located in the Kuiper Belt, a zone beyond the orbit of Neptune brimming with hundreds of thousands of rocky, icy bodies each larger than 62 miles (100 kilometers) across as well as 1 trillion or more comets.
Pluto stopped being a planet in 2006 when it was reclassified as a dwarf planet, a demotion that attracted controversy and stirred debate in the scientific community and among the general public.
American astronomer Percival Lowell first suggested that Pluto existed in 1905 when he observed strange deviations in the orbits of Neptune and Uranus.
Lowell thought there must be another whose gravity is tugging on these ice giants, causing discrepancies in their orbits.
Lowell proceeded to predict the mystery planet's location in 1915 but died 15 years before its discovery.
Pluto was eventually discovered in 1930 by Clyde Tombaugh at the Lowell Observatory, based on predictions by Lowell and other astronomers.
Pluto got its name from 11-year-old Venetia Burney of Oxford, England, who suggested to her grandfather that the new world get its name from the Roman god of the underworld.
Her grandfather then passed the name on to Lowell Observatory. The name also honors Percival Lowell, whose initials are the first two letters of Pluto.
