Odysseus (crater) - Relation To Ithaca Chasma

Relation To Ithaca Chasma

The immense trench called Ithaca Chasma, which approximately follows a great circle with a pole near Odyssues' center, had been hypothesized to have formed as a result of the Odysseus impact. However, a research based on high resolution Cassini images indicated that this is unlikely—the crater counts inside Odysseus appear to be lower than in Ithaca Chasma, indicating that the latter is older than the former.

Famous quotes containing the words relation to and/or relation:

    Concord is just as idiotic as ever in relation to the spirits and their knockings. Most people here believe in a spiritual world ... in spirits which the very bullfrogs in our meadows would blackball. Their evil genius is seeing how low it can degrade them. The hooting of owls, the croaking of frogs, is celestial wisdom in comparison.
    Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
