Awesome images. A couple of trivial questions:
1) Given that it takes several hours for signals to travel each way to/from Cassini, how does Cassini know which geological features to fotograph or to focus on?
2) What is the cause of these geological features that look like some colossal scratching of the surface?

Thanks
