Moon with a View
This image of Iapetus is borrowed from Richard Hoagland’s report shows the ridge up close. The ridge is 20-kilometer wide (12 miles), peak of the ridge reaches at least 13 kilometers (8 miles) above the surrounding terrain, roughly 1,300 kilometer (800 mile) in length, almost exactly parallel to the equator. What is unique is the concise and systematic crater chains running along the very top of the ridge.
For just 13 strikes in a row the odds of that is virtually impossible. If you were a betting person you would win all the lotteries but to run crater chains precisely along the top ridge is phenomenal.
We have investigated this image; it has not been released to the public but through Richard Hoagland. We are still waiting for Richard’s last page, Coming soon: the extraordinary Part 7 Conclusion of “Moon with a View” since 2005, hopefully it will be done soon.
Case in point, the Heavenly New Jerusalem is 1500 miles big, where as Iapetus is 892 miles big, bringing into question many of the small moons in our solar system.
