Cassini Finds Mingling Moons May Share a Dark Past.<br /><br />Despite the incredible diversity of Saturn's icy moons, <br />theirs is a story of great interaction. Some of them are pock-marked, <br />some seemingly dirty, others pristine, one spongy, one two-faced, some still spewing <br />with activity and some seeming to be captured from the far reaches of the <br />solar system. Yet many of them have a common thread <br />-- black "stuff" coating their surfaces....<br /><br />Andrew Brown. <br /> <div class="Discussion_UserSignature"> <p><font color="#000080">"I suddenly noticed an anomaly to the left of Io, just off the rim of that world.

Hi Vogon,<br /><br />I think we were aware of this or fathomed it out, but now our ideas are 'official'. <br /><br />I am pleased that this release has been made. It shows that we know what we <br />are talking about. <br /><br />Andrew Brown. <div class="Discussion_UserSignature"> <p><font color="#000080">"I suddenly noticed an anomaly to the left of Io, just off the rim of that world.
