iapetus

Cassini does not fly by Iapetus in its tours; the orbit was adjusted to do so once but will not happen again.

Shouldn't the line in the UK be further north, closer to the Iapetus Suture?

Nice views of the Iapetus Ocean closing leading to mountain building (orogeny) and then the Atlantic opening up along a slightly different line taking parts that used to be attached to the other side of the Iapetus (e.g.

The Iapetus Suture runs from the Solway Firth to Lindisfarne.

Also the ridge on Iapetus is worth an honorable mention if we're talking about things that don't look like they belong in nature.

The " 2001 " book set action around Saturn's Iapetus moon and so the screen initially was meant to follow it.

Wouldn't it be nice if Erik Wernquist was in charge of the filmatization of "2312" (the novel that inspired his "Iapetus Ridge" scene).

Saturn’s moons Titan and Iapetus, Jupiter’s moon Callisto, and Earth’s Moon would be capable of hosting submoons.

Cassini's apogee (aposelene) is inside the orbit of Iapetus, which is 3.5m km from Saturn.

Iapetus is basically a sphere made of ice and has an orbital velocity as low as 3.26km/s and 2% of earths gravity.
