Following the tracing of jets emanating from Comet Wild-2 to depressions in the ice by Brownlee et al. [2004. The Stardust—A successful encounter with the remarkable Comet Wild 2. Lunar Planet. Sci. 35. Abstract 1981], we demonstrated experimentally the formation of depressions and chaotic terrain on comet analogs when gas is released from underlying ice pockets. We also demonstrated experimentally the ejection of ice grains into the experimental cometary “coma.”
