Looking at the close up view of this different moon, would it not be fair to think that it just may be a captured comet? With all the holes in it -- perhaps vent holes (?) -- and it's shape not much different than the Deep Impact Temple1, it does lead one to think that in the old days, it was a comet that just got too close in an encounter with Saturn.

Hi! I agree with Larry from Canada. I also noticed what looked like Ice in some of the craters.

Smells like a bot. But those are awfully random elements it repeated. It appears not selling anything. Orin, say something else. And don't start it with "Hi! I agree with Orca..."

This moon not only reminds us of a comet, but also of a'a lava. Lava that is clinker-like and looks porous is called by the Hawaiian name a'a.

It should be very, very smart bot to translate "Larry Ottawa, Canada" to "Larry from Canada" :?:

And again, bots usually have links to some commercial site.

Unless...it's the first wave of a new generation of super-intelligent über-bots!


From the planet Cricket, no doubt!
