Figure 7. View looking down the Euler
Pole. When seen looking down the Euler pole (48°S, 247.25°W),
Astypalaea Linea follows a sequence of small circles centered on that pole
(cross). Here we have drawn a circle around the Euler pole to illustrate
the segmented circular form. The fault does not follow a single circle
because of the stepovers at Cyclades Macula and the possible rhomboid at
Rs.
For example, straight segment S2 is slightly farther from the Euler
pole than segments southwest of it. The image used here is a polar reprojection
of a United States Geological Survey mosaic of Voyager images. The south
pole is located within the region with no image coverage.
