[True Blue Door]

Keep in mind that the little boulders seen here and there are the size of buildings:

Weeeeeeeeeeeird. Especially when you realize this thing has such minimal gravity that it mostly sticks together because of electrostatics.

1. This just boggles the mind. nt

2. On photos 1, 5, and 8; I think I see pattern evidence of landslides.

3. Ultra-slow-mo settling caused by minute vibrations over time.

5. I understand that.

And yet; even if an event derives its energy for motion from geothermal, water saturation, sudden shifts of tectonic plates, or minute vibrations (caused by micro impacts elsewhere on the body of the comet or degassing of the comet) and the body of said event remained cohesive and traveled in a common direction bound together by some force be it gravity or electrostatics; is that not a landslide?

4. Not landslides as we know them

because there isn't enough gravity to make anything slide "down." We really don't know that much about the geology of these things and that's what the probe is all about.

6. To find new things allows us to expand our definitions.

7. Anyone ever watch the Animusic videos?

Looking at these pictures, I'm just waiting for some ancient bizarre tecno-computer music band to rise up out of one of those shots, especially the 2nd or the 4th one.
