Looks like my face when I was a teenager.

[cripplecreek]

it would have murdered Tethys outright

More of that scienc-ey lingo.

[Talisker]

There’s no telling how many other moons in Saturn’s litter did suffer that fate. It is a matter of cosmic history that Tethys didn’t. And it’s a matter of cosmic fact that we have reason to be grateful.

Curious closing statement. Not only isn't anyone cosmically grateful that Tethys didn't shatter, no one even gives a damn it exists.

It never ceases to amaze me just how many wondrous and awesome (in the original, take-your-breath-away sense of the word) things there are in our little solar system. I admit I’m a little envious of the future generations who will get to see some of those great mysteries unraveled.

I'll take Tethys, the Greek goddess:

[Diana in Wisconsin]

“Nearly every one of the uncounted hits it has taken in its 4-plus billion years of life is stamped in its face...”

Quite shilling for Hillary! *SMIRK*

[MarineBrat]

Reads like a journalism degree trying to wax romantic about science. Ohhh... Time.

[Prospero]

[Red Badger]

It doesn't look so bad.........................

[COBOL2Java]

Tethys enjoys no such cosmetic advantages. Nearly every one of the uncounted hits it has taken in its 4-plus billion years of life is stamped in its face, giving the rocky, icy world an almost sponge-like appearance.

This from Wiki: Tethys plays virtually no part in recorded Greek literary texts, or historical records of cults.

Then they name an ugly moon for her.

The dame don't get no respect.
