new -- 1 may 2007

nowhere is objectivity in modern science so clearly challenged as in the case of the wildly eccentric moon of saturn, the one named after the greek titan, iapetus. it is one thing to have the kind of variations in geologic characteristics as are exhibited by the galilean satellites of jupiter; it is quite another to have a sufficient number of totally unique features so as to require some extraordinary and highly creative explanations. in terms of anomalies iapetus is loaded!

the yin/yang moon

there is, for example, the solar system’s most dramatic variation in the coloration between the leading and trailing hemispheres of the satellite. this premier feature of iapetus has been referred to as the yin/yang appearance, first captured in all of its glory in the first images taken by the voyager spacecraft.
