15mins before the final announcement ! Nails being bitten, coffee being gulped, anxious laughter and some non so anxious smiles

That's all from me today. As ever, do send in idea suggestions for

Wiki, of course, has a great list that you can sort by base to peak height, with lots of images. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_tallest_mountains_in_the_Solar_System …

In fact, Earth mountains rank much behind in height than mountains not just on asteroids & Mars, but also moons of Jupiter, Saturn, Neptune!
-
Yep, lots of right guesses! Mauna Kea at Hawaii. It's mostly underwater with base to peak height >10km, while Everest base to peak is <5km.pic.twitter.com/OmSA5WTf9E

Here's another question: what's the tallest mountain/peak from base to peak on earth? (hint: Everest is tallest from sea level only)?

Impact that formed Rheasilvia 1 bn yrs ago dislodged so many particles into space, the most common source of meteorites on Earth is Vesta.pic.twitter.com/ITyFcaTMFs

Then from edge of crater, all the liquid sloshed back in, meeting at the middle & rising up. Solidified in the process; formed the mountain.

surface of the asteroid. This liquid bounced out of the crater, just like what happens when you drop a large stone into a puddle of water.

It's formation is interesting to say the least: during the impact that created the crater, the impact heat and pressure liquified the

It's simply called the Rheasilvia crater peak, and has been the tallest mountain in our solar system since 2011.

In one of these craters, called the Rheasilvia crater, rises a central mountain peak that is taller than Olympus Mons, by just 100 m.pic.twitter.com/6C1oh3lnJo

Vesta's shape was distorted because of two HUGE impacts when it was still not fully solid, both craters visible clearly in its southern hemipic.twitter.com/oyzbuo2vlH

hydrostatic equilibrium, ie, near-spherical shape bound by its own gravity. Vesta is obloid.pic.twitter.com/oIPuutPhC4

That means that it started becoming a [dwarf] planet, but stopped. It has a differentiated core; ie core that's made of heavy elements like
