Cassini imags of Lapetus.

The Cassini images of Lapetus are very interesting.

They would be even more interesting if they did not need to be flipped vertically so you can see the craters properly.

Is this some type of copyright problem that NASA has?

Well lets just say that they obviously wanted to show off the lineal alignment of the craters, , hmmmmm 8)

Interesting that most all of the dark spots in the APOD picture of today seem each to be centered on the round puffy spots ????

The round puffy spots are actually craters. The darker material does seem to be oriented in the same portion of each individual crater though.

Presuming that North is up in the image (the Cassini site doesn't mention orientation for this image) the majority of the dark material is located in the N/E QUAD of these craters.

I think you should demonstrate this lineal alignment, cc.
Please post a picture with the lines drawn.
And show that it is more than joining the dots in a random scatter.

, , , and then maybe you need to look at it with a more "human" eye JohnD, , ,

Many have already done that JohnD, including NASA's "less than reputable disclosure personality" Hoagland.

Looking at something with a human eye notoriously produces such artefacts, as our eyes/brains have developed to see patterns. And while Richard Hoagland may have worked for NASA at one time, he was already describing "Cities on Mars" twenty years ago. This description amply demonstrates the fallacy of relying on subjective human observation, and has been throughly discounted by more recent events.

No, you should answer the question, cc.
Where are these lineal alignments, and what evidence do you have that they are more significant than random?

I find it much more beneficial to look at the images in the negative of the published versions, and notice the the "light" aera is sitting craters. instead of the "dark"area being inside the craters...

Waste your own time drawing lines for those that "can't see".

OK, cc, I'll take that as a refusual to back up your assertion with evidence. Or an inability to do so.

I'm sorry, cc, but this is a scientific website, and if you propose a theory, you must show the evidence and defend your thesis. Just saying you are too busy right now and anyway, a fool can see that you are right, will only get you laughed at.

John, the statement "Well lets just say that they obviously wanted to show off the lineal alignment of the craters" does not equate to "propose (sic) a theory".

Neither does, "Waste your own time" equate to "you are too busy right now".

But, "a fool can see that you are right" that would be a compliment since the elite gods and goddesses of the only “scientific game in town” continually compete in the Incompetency Parade.

Not as much as I am laughing at you JohnD, STOP twisting my words would be a good start too. You obviously still can't read what is wrote in simple english, nor comprehend what you read. I haven't proposed ANY theory in this thread. Your inept attempt to slander and lie about what is stated amazes even me.

I am personally disappointed that none of the pictures here
“ for the only planned flyby “ Show any of the surface areas
Such as those seen on enterprise mission.com
Namely the square, rectangle and other geometrically shaped
Objects / craters, or if one were to believe,,,, Hoagland or is that

For thee thirsty for my very valued posts,

I see as much significance in this as in crater chains.
