Quite a shot, and "illuminating," also, of the topography. If accurate, and we can only hope that is the real reason NASA released this Goldstone Radar data, then it show three, perhaps four craters deep enough to be "rain barrels" holding Cometary water and gives a 17,000 meter hight to Malapert, with it's tippy top peak rim high enough to be almost (but not quite) eternally lit by the sun, even at libration.
Amazing.
