NEW SCIENCE STUFF

Boy'o'boy. The scientific community is using new words to describe moons around Saturn. They are saying of Dione, a biggish moon, "We can see indications of tectonic movement.". Wow, Tectonic movement on a moon. But you will notice no mention of subduction zones.

You do know that you can't have tectonic "spreading" which is what "tectonic movement" means, without the body growing... Unless you have subduction.

You didn't hear the word subduction in that quote. Wasn't there.

 

What about the small moon, Hyperion, that they said is mostly hollow? It would be pretty hard to defend a chunk like that being part of an exploded planet or from some magical creation.

I vote geode-like structure as I have been saying. Please look at these videos from Nasa Website.
