On Saturn
Scientists have discovered a giant vosmidesyatikilometrovye landslides on the surface of one of Saturn's moons - Iapetus. This satellite, unlike most other celestial bodies is believed astrophysics, consists almost entirely of water ice. "We think that these marks on the surface of Iapetus are the result of similar processes on Earth and Mars," - said the head of the research group at Washington University in St. Louis Kelsey Singer. The surface of Iapetus is more reminiscent of Earth rocks, but there is much colder and much less than the acceleration of gravity, which is why such large-scale and form avalanches. Pictures of the unique phenomenon on Saturn made automatic station "Cassini".
