I found the recent report in Yahoo! News very interesting.
For one, it appears to have bands. The first thing that jumped into my mind was "sedimentary layers." Could there be another explanation for such banding?
If the Southern half is dominated by a giant crater, it makes sense it'd be smoother, much like the "seas" on the Moon.
