I'm a Doug Hemingway.
I'm a planetary scientist at the
Carnegie Institution for Science.
And this week at AGU,
I'm going to be presenting some
results that we have about Enceladus.
So Enceladus is a small moon of Saturn,
and one of the things that's most
interesting about it is there are eruptions
actively spraying water out
of the South pole right now.
And they're all coming out of this series
of fissures at the South pole called
the tiger stripes. And in this talk we're
going to be addressing, it's a poster,
actually,
we're going to be showing a addressing
the five biggest questions about these
tiger stripes. How did they form?
Why are they only at the South pole?
How do they form as a
parallel set? Why are they,
why is that regular spacing between
the, the fractures, 35 kilometers.
And why don't we see them on
anywhere else in the solar system?
So if you're interested in, come
and see the poster on Tuesday.
