In Greek mythology, the Twelve Titans were the powerful children of #Gaia and #Uranus. They ruled before the Olympian gods and shaped the early world.
The Six Male Titans: #Oceanus, #Coeus, #Crius, #Hyperion, #Iapetus, and #Cronus.
The Six Female Titans: #Theia, #Rhea, #Themis, #Mnemosyne, #Phoebe, and #Tethys.They reigned during the Golden Age, until #Zeus and the #Olympians rose up, defeated them, and took control of the cosmos.

Has it ever happened to you when reading a book, you thought "hey, I heard that passage in a song!"?
"After a while someone asked the expriest if it were true that at one time there had been two moons in the sky and the expriest eyed the false moon above them and said that it may well have been so. But certainly the wise high God in his dismay at the proliferation of lunacy on this earth must have wetted a thumb and leaned down out of the abyss and pinched it hissing into extinction."

Droneybird explorations around the Southern Uplands Fault.
Years ago I used to drive the A77 through Ayrshire and just knew there was _something_ interesting about the landscape. Only recently have I learned that the collision and subduction associated with the Iapetus Ocean's closure during the Caledonian Orogeny (~420Mya) caused the emplacement of the Ballantrae Ophiolite Complex.

Thanks to its distant, inclined orbit, Iapetus is the only large moon from which you could get a good view of Saturn's rings.

@kevinmgill And that crater on #Iapetus makes it look like the #DeathStar hahaha. Resisting the urge to lead with that fact must have taken you superhuman supescience strength, mate. 🤪

So Saturn has this moon Iapetus. Besides being a really fun word to say, this moon is pretty cool. And not only because it's made primarily out of ice. It has a striking appearance with the leading hemisphere taking a reddish-brownish coloring; the rest is icy white.
But it gets better... Iapetus has this weird equatorial ridge, 1,300km long and up to 13km high. No idea how they got there!
