Howdy List,
While the 'big depression' on the Vestan south pole has been a major
focus...what about those wild grooves???
I see visions of a spinning Vesta grinding against another twin, gouging
grooves in a dance....a low gravity parlay perhaps analogous to a
high-school bump and grind, the two spinning against each other....which
begs the obvious question: where is the partner in grind??
Should we not expect to eventually find trailing remnants of both in those
tell-tale grooves?

Hi Mike:
I assume that you meant to say slick (hope that I am not putting words in
your mouth).
I have played this video several times and it is clear how much can be
said about Vesta by the narrator without giving any scientific
interpretation of it! I realize that there is always the mandate that
little is said without an official press release or the published papers
with the first results, but to say only that there is a "depression" at
the south pole, a huge crater (known for many years) and probably the main
source of most HED meteorites, leaves one wanting for at least some
interpretation of what one is seeing.
