http://www.craterchains.com/forumimgs/epimetheus1a1.jpg Imagine what it may have looked like before all this destruction we see? If now only 115 km would it have been larger at one time? Say about 150km ? It is thought that the big red circle is a crater and that the smaller circle represents the r...

auroradude Antarctic ice core samples. We know that the antarctic was inhabited in the early 1200s. Harbors, trees, land and animals. A map that shows it. Also from the 400 - 600 CE another map showing only snow and ice on the highest mountains there. That calls into question using any ice to date s...

neufer
There would have been a constant cooling fire haze from all this that suppressed temperatures before the CO2 had time to build up and reverse this process.
I highly doubt that. For many reasons, think about it.

Which way does it spin, and at what rate ?
, , , or in other words, simply stated;
It is like our moon, it does not rotate to an observer on Saturn.

Epimetheus (APOD 11 Feb 2008)

Now this is interesting, most all craters shown seem to be round. No near misses with no gravity to attract them straight in, hmmmmmm. :wink:

Henk, As far as how to break up a comet / asteroid goes, disruption by gravity seems to be the answer, and is acceptable to me. As for them making such concise and systematic chains of craters as in CS types of crater chains, well it just ain't going to happen. The anomaly remains of what made them ...

Bad Buoys, I doubt anything is going to slow down such a meteor headed into Mercury, at least to any measurable degree. Yes, there could be water ice near the poles on Mercury. FieryIce found this image for you. What a way to make deep underground caverns. And with modern thermonuclear devices they ...

Andy, While Mercury may have the gravity to accelerate an object into it's surface, Phobos, a very small moon of Mars, would not. Yet Phobos does not show near miss craters of elongation. You asked, "Could the slope on the upper right quadrant just be slumped cliffs due to instability, other im...

What about the amount of H2O now showing up in our upper atmosphere? That should also have a pronounced effect on overall warming and could be beneficial, if looked upon from another view point.
