Equatorial ridge
text:
Equatorial ridges are a feature of at least three of Saturn's moons: the large moon Iapetus and the tiny moons Atlas and Pan. They are ridges that closely follow the moons' equators. They appear to be unique to the Saturnian system, but it is uncertain whether the occurrences are related or a coincidence. Iapetus was discovered by Italian-born French astronomer Giovanni Domenico Cassini in October 1781; Atlas was discovered from the images taken by Voyager 1 during its flyby of Saturn in Novembe
