Wow, what could possibly have caused that ridge?

Accretion due to 2 large bodies smashing together?

That is super cool.

“Accretion due to 2 large bodies smashing together?”

Last I read, all natural causes had been ruled out by those studying the object (a very large object but not a natural moon - perhaps).

Remember, the ridge is perfectly aligned with the equator, not a random alignment as one might expect from some natural cause.

Then there is the very strong radio source in Saturn’s B-ring ...

It got t-boned by another planet. In fact, you may as well call it "T-Bone."
