Height?

[edit]

Article on Miranda_(moon) states the height of Verona Rupes as 10km, but this article has it at 12miles. -- BevanFindlay 11:19, 4 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Both now list it at 20 km per Guinness World Records, tho with a link from APOD today we'll hopefully get better refs. -- Jeandré, 2007-07-01t08:07z

Trivia?

[edit]

The trivia states that it would take 12 minutes to reach the bottom and the article states it's 12 miles. It also states you would hit the ground at 125 mph. Shouldn't that be 60 mph since it would take 12 minutes to go 12 miles at that speed? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 75.80.5.110 (talkcontribs) 2007-07-01t17:43:42z

--It takes time to reach 125 mph. If you take the value of 530 (given in the second part of the trivia) and multiply it by 120 (gravity) and then divide it by 5280 (feet) you'll get 12 miles. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 216.52.232.2 (talkcontribs) 2007-07-02t15:48:45z

Which part's the cliff?

[edit]

Some of us who are not astronomers can't tell the difference between the cliff and the terrain! —Preceding unsigned comment added by 70.165.47.100 (talkcontribs) 2007-07-24t16:26:06z

It's the light section "seen below and right of center", seen from above. -- Jeandré, 2007-07-29t11:25z
I'm also struggling to see it, unless. I see a "light section" with striations running in a left-right direction. I guess we are seeing side of the cliff there. So it's viewed from above, but not very directly above, hence you see the side of the cliff a bit. Does that sound right? -- Harry Wood (talk) 15:41, 4 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]

APOD says estimated at 20km high

[edit]

Verona Rupes in the "wanderers" video

[edit]

This spectacular Wanderers video features an artists impression of Verona Rupes (and explorer base jumping off it!) towards the end. There's a still image and explanation of this in the gallery here. -- Harry Wood (talk) 15:54, 4 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]
