    2/2 Explanation Yellow: head rim at Serqet Green: parts of Anuket neck bulging below head rim Blue: the big protrusion in Anuket Mauve:Anuket neck base 1km below rim Arrow kisses green meaning Anuket neck & head rim used in error for perimeter of ’pit’ 1km below in Seth

    Another error: bottom-right image is mirror-flipped (1st 2 photos). This makes it look just like the unflipped one above it but it was taken from a 180° opposite angle. This is a spurious matching of images & plays havoc with becoming familiar with the morphology

    More errors in these photos. The erroneously identified 300m pit at left is thought to be the same as the one shown from 2 different angles at right. It’s not. The correct one (Seth 01) is arrowed.

    What powers a comet's outbursts when the surface is too cold and dark? One clear answer is stored temperature and pressure. 's outbursts when well past the orbit of Mars are a case in point. Sealed pressure at warm temperatures are required. Liquid phases fit the bill.

    I mention rotational "disruption" of at current shape in this recent tweet. I just am not sure why modellers cannot grasp stretch as an outcome rather than "disruption" implying chaotic break-up rather than self-limiting elongation under friction.

    Hirabayashi and Scheeres did plenty of work on failure modes back in 2015, including Itokawa, which is considered possibly formed from partial failure from a soft core at increased spin. Not sure why 67P's shape was not considered as a result of previous high spin?

    I already warned re problem of the head getting in the way of the view of Seth and ‘merging’ with it. I’ve been doing so for over 2 years, in several tweets (see link). Knowing how the head can restrict these views should be second nature to OSIRIS

    Replying to @MarcoParigi1
    it's Site A/Aswan...but confusing cos the head lobe is in the foreground. See attached, annotated pic.

    Here’s the stretch blog post that got left out of tweet No 2 in that thread. It says it’s there but it’s not. This hypothesised original seating point for the pancakes is in keeping with the tensile force vectors of stretch shown in that post

    This sim was used inadvisedly as supporting evidence that resulted from a gentle merger of 2 independent bodies (in Massironi et al. 2015). Screenshot: excerpt from my reply comment to Dr. Massironi who authored this relevant Rosetta blog post

    Here’s just 4 head-body matches that correlate in your photo. Every feature has been scrutinised from every angle & under every lighting angle, going systematically around the head rim and body ‘shear line’ 1000m below. Hence our complete familiarity with this photo

    3/ Here’s the proposed slide vector of the 3 pancakes out of the cave (red arrow). Yellow: pancakes. Fuchsia: sympathetic layer slides. Notice how the slide track acts as the line of symmetry for these pulled back layers as you’d expect if dragged back by sliding pancakes

    2017 paper by N. Movshovitz et al. Looking at tidal disruption as bilobe formation mechanism. Soft core makes disruption = deformation = stretch. Rotational deformation makes much more sense - does not need "lucky" Roche pass.

    FYI & have never entertained the hypothesis that the head lobe used to be attached to the body lobe. This statement is made periodically for people seeking to follow peer reviewed work only. Stretch theory is outside the peer review process...

    Replying to @scute1133 @IamComet67P and 5 others
    Also: 1) this chain of matches ends at a point where both head lobe and body lobe execute a 90° turn in unison- see red dots in updated photo. This perfectly matching 90° turn is confirmed in top-down views. 2) upper ends of lines form a slope betraying head lobe tip wrt body

    Finally, the entire ~6km head rim has been matched to this resolution i.e. many dozens of matches. These happen to be the ones visible in this view. All matches documented in the early stretch blog posts up to Part 30 (2015). The next 48 document stretch before head shear

    You always say the test of a good theory is that it predicts (ie doesn’t just explain). I asked to find this cave because I suspected it was there based on the tensile force vectors of stretch. But I didn’t know it was there in advance cuz it’s always in shadow

    A good test on any theory is that it explains the origin of features that confounds main stream theories and other explanations. eg. the pancake on arrow points to it in image. Stretch theory elegantly explains the origins of this feature.

    Previous 3 tweets show 3 appalling errors in 1 slide: 1) misidentification of the head lobe taking up 1/4 of the frame 2) misidentification of Seth 01 3) mirror-flip These are all iconic features that OSIRIS should recognise in an instant. Instead no one noticed

    I can’t resist this comment 😉 Each end of each yellow line falls on a specific, small morphological detail The two ends of each line show identical matching features, head-to-body The lines are perfectly parallel showing that these matches aren’t random but sequential

    2/ The 3 pancakes on Khonsu were always thought by Rosetta scientists to be exhumed from deeper in . I think they came from the cave as they’re the same shape and their proposed slide vector from the cave is in keeping with this stretch blog post

    4/ This hypothesis is in keeping with the linked post in the 2nd tweet in this thread. Here’s a summary photo from that post which showed the same fuchsia slide vectors. But at the time of writing the cave wasn’t known about. Now the slide vector is added: cave to pancakes

    Glancing thru 1st 3 figures of Massironi et al 2015 I find 3 major mistakes. Here’s one of them: a mirror-flipped photo which shows that the multiple OSIRIS authors struggle to recognise basic landmarks. This should’ve been noticed immediately
