You can't see the monolith unless you dig it up, no?

  I don't suppose anyone here remembers, but in Arthur C. Clarke's novel
  2001, the Discovery's mission was to go to the moon Iapetus, where the
  crew's survivors encountered the TMA II monolith.

  Unfortunately the Cassini spacecraft has shown no monoliths on that moon.

  another myth bites the dust.
